Her death caused an outpouring of grief not just among family and friends but in a larger community shocked by the tragic loss, so early, of such a beautiful life. She was a superior dancer and athlete, a top student, and a friend to many. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd she was a gifted young poet. From the age of eight, Stacey demonstrated an extraordinary ability to capture in words the beauty and wonder of her world. She kept a journal of her favourite poems, which served to comfort her family and friends in their time of sorrow. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStacey's parents, Ned and Cheryl, published \u003ci\u003eI Am a Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of her poetry, shortly after her death. Now readers coast to coast can share in beautiful poems that have moved thousands of people to tears, brought comfort to countless hurting souls, and made everyone who has read them reflect on the meaning of life. This book of poems served as an inspiration to a television documentary, \u003ci\u003eI Am a Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, which filmed her father's arduous completion of Stacey's climb up Mt. Ixta in Mexico, which had been cut short for her by a storm. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poetry collection, and Stacey's story, have become known by climbers from around the world as they read her work at a memorial set up for her before the last ascent up the mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stacey Levitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462006183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462006182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Stacey Levitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936030523647,"sku":"9781462006182","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_19c9ff9e-bb9c-4a24-88c2-d8c851a85909.jpg?v=1681423209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-a-rose-stacey-levitt-9781462006182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
