I Choose the Moon is her true story of perseverance, discovery, and a passion for helping others. She put her nursing degree to use in ways she never imagined, but the adrenaline-filled roles she took on weren’t stimulating enough and she took another leap of faith. Jonea’s next role would take her to the oil fields in Iraq, a rare woman in a world dominated by men.

Uncover how her ambition, determination, and gutsy decisions moved her from a lackluster existence in the Midwest to a no-excuses, no holds barred, life of effervescent adventure. From the peaks of the Himalayas to grueling long-distance races and backpacking in the Last Frontier to the harsh deserts of the Middle East, in I Choose the Moon Jonea must face adversaries more merciless than the landscapes she traversed.

Through it all, Jonea trusts her heart and chooses to follow the moon.
