Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston is a fascinating, true-life survival story. The book recalls Ralston's traumatic experience in 2003, when he was hiking in an isolated canyon in Utah and became trapped by a boulder. Alone and unable to move, he made the life-threatening decision to amputate his own arm in order to escape.

Ralston details his physical and mental challenges throughout the six days he was stranded, as well as flashbacks to previous adventures in his life. The story is both compelling and uplifting, demonstrating remarkable strength and determination to survive. It's an intriguing novel about willpower and human endurance.
