Non-Fiction Memoir
A Test of Will is a tale of adventure, courage, and
triumphs, but most importantly, it is an inspiring story
about embracing life from a man who almost lost his.
Warren Macdonald, a fit and experienced hiker, set out to
make the grueling climb to the top of Australia's
spectacular Mount Bowen. But what had begun as a two-day
adventure suddenly turned into a nightmare when Macdonald
found himself lying in a creek bed, both his legs pinned by
a giant boulder. While his companion made the solitary
eight-hour journey to find help, the trapped hiker fought to
stay alive. But this was only the beginning.
A Test of Will has the suspense of a mystery, the
pacing of a thriller, and the intimacy of the best
inspirational literature. A gifted storyteller, Macdonald
captures the terror and high drama of his hours alone in the
wilderness. He also writes eloquently about his life both
before and after the accident—his training as an adventure
tour guide and his vow to continue his life in the outdoors
even after both his legs are amputated. In 2003, Macdonald
became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the
summit of Africa's tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro.
