A powerfully built man more than six feet tall, Roal Amundsen's career of adventure began at the age of fifteen. He was born in Norway in 1872 to a family of merchant sea captains and rich ship owners. Twenty-five years later he was the first man to reach both the North and South Poles. Lynne Cox gives listeners a full-scale account of the explorers life and expeditions.

Description
A memoir from the open-water swimmer in which "we see Cox finding her way, writing about her transformative journey back toward health, and slowly moving toward the one aspect of her life that meant everything to her--freedom, mastery, transcendence--back to open waters, and the surprise that she never saw coming: falling in love"--Dust jacket flap.
