On the Z107.7 Up Close Show this Friday join host Gary Daigneault with Author Claire Nelson. Nelson is the author of “Things I Learned From Falling”, a gripping first-person account of her survival in Joshua Tree National Park against the odds. In 2018, Nelson fell over 25 feet after wandering off a trail.

The fall shattered her pelvis, rendering her completely immobile. Claire lay for the next four days, surrounded by boulders that muffled her cries for help, but exposed her to the relentless California sun above. Her rescuers had not expected to find her alive. Hear the remarkable story from a remarkable woman on the Up-Close Show Friday at 10:00am, here on Z107.7.
