Author Alison Wright at Get Lost September 18, 2008

Writer and photographer Alison Wright spends much of her time on the road as a photo journalist. In 2000, a horrible bus collision in Laos left her on the side of a road and without proper medical attention for fourteen hours. Alison endured months of surgeries and grueling physical therapy. She struggled to remain positive while doctors discouraged her from expecting a return to her previous life. Never one to accept defeat, Alison set herself a goal: to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. She reads from her new book, Learning to Breathe, an extraordinary spiritual memoir about her will to survive.
