An inspiring and often humorous memoir about refusing to let a diagnosis define the boundaries of your life, The Whistler's Daughter follows Kippy as she faces doctors' warnings that her physical abilities would become increasingly limited — and responds by learning a new sport nearly every year. Over nearly three decades she learns more than forty: rock climbing, scuba diving, kitesurfing, trapeze, aerial arts, mountain biking — on mountains, oceans, rivers, cliffs, and in the air. She has never considered herself naturally athletic, fearless, or graceful. What she has is curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to be a beginner again and again.
She does all of it while building a company, raising three sons, and meeting a run of diagnoses with the same stubborn answer: sign up for one more thing. At sixty-three, she climbs onto the wing of a moving biplane.
A powerful reminder that we are more than our prognosis.
