Mark your calendars! Next Tuesday, May 21, Back of Beyond will host author Robyn Dabney to sign her new book, "The Ascenditure," from 6-8pm.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In "The Ascenditure," a young adult fantasy feminist climbing tale, readers are transported into a world of perilous climbs and daring escapades, where a young female climber embarks on a journey to prove herself worthy of a coveted spot on an elite climbing team in a kingdom that relegates women to the home.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Robyn Dabney is an avid climber with a profound connection to the outdoors, having grown up in Moab. Her background working in traditionally male-dominated fields, including stints as a park ranger, firefighter, and outdoor adventure guide, serves as the foundation for "The Ascenditure."
Be there!
