What is The hill : a true story of tragedy, recovery, and redemption on North America's highest peak about?

"That whole black moment, when crashing was a certainty, lasted maybe 10 second. WE all had time to register what was happening, what was about to happen. I have no idea what everyone else was thinking, what was racing through their minds, but they had to know. All I knew was, <i>Fly this thing, stay on top of it, Ed. Do what you can, do all you can. See it through..."</i> <p>So begins the saga of Alaskan bush pilot Ed Hommer as he and his passengers speed toward sudden impact on majestic but menacing Mount McKinley, known to wary locals simply as The Hill.</p> <p>Hommer survives the landing, only to find himself and the others fighting for their lives in whiteout conditions during a nightmarish and ultimately deadly winter storm. A daring rescue by a local climbing team known as the Mountain Maniacs ensues, but no one can save Hommer from a chain reaction of consequences that threatens to destroy his livelihood, his marriage, his sanity, and - something even The Hill couldn't take from him - his very will to live.</p> <p> Here is the true story of Ed Hommer, a dreamer who weathers an avalanche of adversity and comes out on top, his self intact.</p>
