Jennifer Lowe-Anker was in love with professional climber Alex Lowe. Each with a passion for the outdoors and the wild scenic places of the world, they built a life together of adventure and travel. But with separate careers, Jenny as fine artist, there were many times when the two were apart for long stretches of time while Alex explored and set new routes on mountains far away. And even with three children at home Jenny realized that part of loving Alex was having to be without him.

    In 1999 Alex was killed in an avalanche while exploring the Tibetan Himalaya. A freak accident on the 26,000-foot peak Shishapangma also took the life of filmmaker David Bridges.  But Alex’s best friend and climbing partner Conrad Anker, who was also on that expedition, was spared. Though Jenny mourned the passing of her husband she took great comfort in the support of his friend Conrad. Through their shared grief Jenny and Conrad discovered affection for one another and then fell in love. They married and Conrad became the adoptive father of Alex’s sons Max, Sam and Issac.

In a memoir entitled Forget Me Not, Jennifer Lowe-Anker reveals the intimate details of her life having tragically lost one climber to fall in love all over again with another
