Non-Fiction Memoir
An insightful and at times wrenching memoir of love lost and
love found, set against a backdrop of the world's tallest peaks In 1999 Jennifer Lowe's husband Alex Lowe died tragically in
an avalanche on the Himalayan mountain Shishapangma, leaving
her alone to raise three sons. Alex was widely considered
one of the greatest modern climbers and the world mourned
his loss--Tom Brokaw did a one-hour special for Dateline,
and Sting narrated and composed music for a tribute film. While Jenni and her sons faced the absence of the most
important man in their lives, Alex's best friend and
longtime climbing partner, Conrad Anker, was dealing with
the terrible loss as well as feelings of survivor's guilt.
Jenni and Conrad gradually, and unexpectedly, found solace
in one another and married in 2001--Conrad is now the
adoptive father of the three Lowe children. Through letters and expedition notes from Alex, Forget Me
Not spans continents and tells the story of three people
whose lives intertwine to a degree they could never have
imagined. Jenni's account takes readers inside a woman's
heart and mind as she navigates her shattered life and
survives, ultimately finding transformative love through her
great loss. From the valleys of Montana to the peaks of the
Himalayas, this never-before told story exposes the
controversial yet ultimately redemptive power of love.
