James Franco鈥檚 acting performance in 127 Hours earned the film critical acclaim, but many don鈥檛 know that this incredible story was first chronicled by Aron Ralston himself in print form. 鈥淏etween a Rock and a Hard Place鈥� of course describes Ralston鈥檚 life-changing experience in having his arm pinned down by an 800-pound boulder in a canyon, but the mountaineer keeps the reader engaged by recounting his early life and describing his family鈥檚 efforts to rescue him. Maps of the area and photos taken by Ralston himself during the ordeal are also included.
