The Way Out: Author Talk with Devon O’Neil

Breckenridge-based journalist, Devon O’Neil, will discuss his new book The Way Out: A True Story of Survival in the Heart of the Rockies. The Way Out tells a harrowing true story of survival, tragedy, and resilience in the Colorado backcountry. Readers are transported into the heart of a community scarred by loss and the complex questions that follow in the wake of disaster. The Way Out is a testament to our enduring fascination with the outdoors and a sobering reminder of its unforgiving power.
