Episode Description from the Publisher

Savannah Barney was leading a group of teenagers on what should have been a routine canyoneering trip in Utah — until the unthinkable happened. While anchored to a massive boulder at the canyon’s edge, the rock suddenly tore loose and pivoted upward, ripping her off the rim and sending her plunging nearly 30 feet into the slot below.She landed face-first on solid rock.The impact snapped her body backward so violently it shattered her spine, instantly paralyzing her before anyone in her group had even entered the canyon.In a single second, the experienced outdoor leader became the one fighting for survival — trapped, unable to move, deep in a remote canyon with a group of teens depending on her.This is the story of the fall, the rescue, and what it takes to rebuild a life when everything changes in an instant.
