Mimi Zieman, a 25-year-old medical student, battles self-doubt to travel from the sidewalks of NYC to the slopes of the highest mountain to become the doctor—and only woman—on a daring Everest climb in Tibet. When three climbers disappear during their summit attempt, Zieman reaches the knife edge of her limits, digging deeply to fight for the climbers lives and to find her voice.
Weaving adventure and medicine in a powerful narrative of self-discovery, Tap Dancing on Everest captures the curiosity and awe of a young woman as she faces down childhood messages to stay small and safe and ventures into the unknown.
