In this gripping and unforgettable memoir, Aron Ralston recounts the harrowing true story of his struggle for survival after being trapped in a remote Utah canyon by an eight-hundred-pound boulder. Hiking alone, Ralston was at peace with nature when disaster struck, leaving him pinned by the boulder with no one around to help. With no access to food, water, or warm clothing, and no way to call for help, Ralston faced a terrifying reality—he was alone, stranded eight miles from his truck in the unforgiving wilderness.

As the days wore on and his options dwindled, Ralston’s will to survive pushed him to the edge. In an agonizing and desperate final act, he made an unimaginable choice that would test his physical and mental limits in ways few could ever comprehend. Between a Rock and a Hard Place is a stark, powerful, and ultimately inspiring account of human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

Now a major motion picture starring James Franco, this international bestseller takes readers on an emotional rollercoaster through one of the most extraordinary survival stories ever told. Ralston’s journey is not just a tale of endurance, but of the strength of the human spirit when faced with life-or-death decisions.
