  As one of the world’s leading female professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt and her husband led globe-trotting, adventure-seeking lives. When she learns that she’s pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body. 
  Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self. 
  In the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.  
  As the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward. How will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?  
  Raw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant testament to the enduring power of love and our lifelong journey to understand ourselves as we strive to always pursue more.

  The Battle of the Bulge -...

  In the winter of 1944, as the Allies closed in on Nazi Germany from both the west and east, Adolf Hitler’s regime found itself increasingly cornered. Desperate to reverse the tide of the war, Hitler launched one last, audacious offensive: the Battle of the Bulge. Known as Germany’s last major push against the Allied forces, the battle took place in the dense forests of the Ardennes region in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. This surprise attack, initiated on December 16, 1944, was meant to divide the Allied armies, capture vital port cities like Antwerp, and cripple the Allied war effort. In his final attempt to change the course of the war, Hitler gambled everything—hoping to break the deadlock and buy time for his collapsing forces. 
    
  The Battle of the Bulge was an enormous, high-stakes operation that relied on surprise, speed, and overwhelming force. The Ardennes was chosen not only for its strategic location but also because it was considered an unlikely place for a large-scale attack. The Allies, exhausted from months of fighting and underestimating the potential of a German counteroffensive, were caught off guard. The weather, heavy with snow and fog, further complicated the Allied defense and gave the Germans an initial advantage. Hitler believed that a swift, unexpected strike through the dense forests would disorient the Allies, creating confusion and panic, and ultimately forcing a favorable settlement. 
    
  However, this final gamble was doomed to fail. Despite the initial successes of the German forces, the battle’s outcome ultimately hinged on the determination of the Allied soldiers, the rapid mobilization of reinforcements, and the logistical prowess of the Allies.
