Christine's Kilimanjaro: My Suburban Climb Up the Mountain of Life
Ebook
A memoir of a spiritual awakening that began with a thank-you letter to God . . .
For the first time, I resolved to be my own tour guide up my mountain of life. Finally believing in myself, I was forging a new path instead of plodding along the tired and worn out one I had become accustomed to, discovering something new and no longer impossible along the way.
Christine Malone found herself at a crossroads in her life when she stumbled across an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show one busy, stressed-out day. There she sat transfixed before the television, not expecting that her reality in an ordinary world would ever change. She never saw it coming—that this was the day her dreams would begin to change her life forever.
A beautifully written story about one woman’s quest to be the change she wishes to see in this world, Christine’s Kilimanjaro is about the spiritual awakening that took place as the author wrote out snapshots of her life, standing up to a few demons she really never faced until she began to write her memoir. Covering experiences both funny and heartbreaking, from her work as a nurse helping cancer patients to a visit to a psychic with her friends, it is a moving and poignant path to self-discovery in which she learns how to put the pains of the past behind her, embrace her present, and envision the future of her dreams.

Christine Malone began writing at the age of nine. Her love of classic black-and-white movies was always her favorite muse when she wrote her inspirational short stories. She spent many years as a substitute teacher and was PTA president for six consecutive years at her children's elementary school. In 2008 she was awarded the Jefferson Award of Excellence in Public Service, along with a nomination for The United Way's Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award. As a nurse, today she spends her days among many unsung heroes as they wage the war against cancer. She was recently chosen by Florida Hospital, her current employer, to be featured in the Heart and Faces Calendar for 2014, setting a stellar example in her patient care service. This is Christine's first published manuscript.
