About the Author

Born in California, Sylvia Verange has long wandered remote corners of the world, using her journeys to further understand both herself and the world in which she lives. When not on an adventure in wild and beautiful places, Verange paints, writes, and teaches in Northern California.

Her debut memoir, Two Breaths, One Step, chronicles her 500-mile solo trek across the Himalayas of Nepal in 1984 — a journey through breathtaking scenery, remote mountain villages, and treacherous conditions that shaped her understanding of herself and the world.
