Summary

As the driving force behind husband Galen Rowell's business success, Barbara's adventures and accomplishments had always been the byproduct of her husband's career. Until, that is, she took off and sailed into a strata all her own. This is the hair-raising, reflective, and ultimately inspiring story of her trip of a lifetime--a 25,000-mile, 57-leg journey through Latin America. 100 photos.
