WHAT READERS ARE SAYING…
“This book is a must-read. The author has seamlessly combined personal experience and fiction in a story that made me feel as if I were tagging along the whole way. I have escaped to the mountains of Colorado many times, seeking answers to life's questions, knowing that I had to listen to the mountains and all their glory to find messages and meaning. Char Sewell took me on a visually rich, deeply felt journey with her characters, accompanied by vivid imagery of the North Cascades. The book explores profound, personal grief—the part of ourselves that feels we cannot bear to suffer—and at the same time touches that part of us that always holds on to just a thread of hope, keeping us moving forward. Char weaves the experiences and emotions together as only a masterful writer can. The ending was unexpected and immensely satisfying, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys getting sucked into a book that you can't put down, that leaves you wanting more.” Nancy-Amazon Verified
“Stunning! Whether or not you’ve ever experienced the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the North Cascades wilderness, this book takes you there. In breathtaking prose the author takes the reader on a journey with the two very different main characters, Emma and Rachel. We learn about their lives and what brings them ultimately together. It is a book about adventure, self discovery, and transformed lives. I could not put it down. Thank you, Char Seawell.” JWG -Amazon Verified
