Right from the beginning, she draws the reader into her narrative as she threads her way through the turbulent early years of her life, overcoming many daunting challenges along the way. Her guiding star is her search for meaning and purpose, which leads her to some spellbinding adventures, including perilous climbs of daunting peaks, one of which was subsequently named after her.</p> <p>One reader wrote: "Elliott's writing is intimate, intoxicating, and full of wisdom. I found myself laughing out loud, holding my breath, opening my eyes wide in shock, at times exclaiming 'holy sh*t!'--and I imagine you will too. It is much more than a memoir. It is so engrossing I forgot I was reading a book, and I look forward to the day when it is made into a movie."</p> <p>Ultimately, Elliott's wise heart leads her home to discover what was there all along--her destiny to be a healer.</p> <ul></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>From Mountains to Medicine is the story of Erica Elliott's magical, mind-bending, and heart-opening journey of self-discovery in search of her life's purpose.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Sun, 25 Feb 2024 07:08:44 +0000 Anonymous 12247 at /coloradan
