For years he had interviewed the bright lights--Madonna, Courtney Love, Jessica Lange, and all the other usual suspects--but Kevin knew that his rapidly unraveling life was as shallow as the hotel's hip furniture and he was hanging on by his fingertips.

Kilimanjaro, walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostelo, and trudging across the cold, lonely winter beaches of Provincetown. Peopled with the famous, like Daniel Radcliffe and Diane Sawyer, as well as anonymous companions--corporeal and otherwise--whom he met while mountain climbing and hiking, \u003ci\u003eI Left It on the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of one man's fall and rebirth, the next moving chapter in Kevin Sessums's extraordinary life that takes him from the high to the low and back again.
