About me

Stephanie Buck Author

Hi, I'm Stephanie Buckβ€”adventurer, dreamer, and storyteller. At thirty-two, I was the embodiment of independence and adventure, until a catastrophic skiing accident in Chamonix, France changed everything. My journey from the icy grip of a glacial crevasse to the warm embrace of self-discovery has taught me two powerful truths: we are capable of far more than we can ever imagine, and transformation can begin in our darkest moments.

  • "As I walked away with my head held up high, I couldn't help but wonder: was my quest to find everlasting romantic love flawed? Can true love co-exist with social and financial independence?"

  • "Motionless, suspended in air, falling into the deep, thin, long crevasse, time halted for what seemed like an eternity. Resigned, serene, contemplating and accepting my end, the air was calm and peaceful."

  • "The person I have become in the process is the real achievement"

My writing journey

During COVID, feeling lost and stuck at a crossroads, a voice I'd never heard before or since came into my head: "I should write a book."

Running downstairs with child-like energy, I mapped out the chapters. Two weeks later, taking imperfect action and believing in something I couldn't see, I started writing and didn’t stop. When paralyzed by doubt and fear, signs from the universe inspired me to keep going.

Currently under submission, my dream is for my story of hope to be out in the world in 2026.
