"When four college friends graduated from the University of Northwest Oregon, their lives stretched before them, full of promise and vows to stay connected. But life has a way of derailing well-laid plans. Now they haven't spoken in twenty-five years. But against all odds, three of them have found themselves back in the same place-- at their alma mater, wondering how they got there. When they discover their fourth friend, Hope, has died, Jenna, Ireland, and Vicky decide to embark on a wilderness adventure to honor her memory-- and for secret reasons of their own. Jenna wants to show her husband that she's more than a helpless, overweight, middle-aged empty nester. Ireland wants to get back to the nature she loves and hide from the charges being pressed against her. And Vicky wants to show she cares for something besides her ministry-- and put off the disaster waiting at home for as long as possible. They never bargained for the dangers they face in an unforgiving wilderness. Now they'll have to work together if they hope to make it home alive. While the three women fight to survive the elements, their toughest battles may be with themselves" -Amazon.com.… (more)

This book follows three estranged college friends, reunited after decades, on an unusual adventure. I liked the way the story is told by alternating between the voice of each character. A warning though, don’t start this book if you have important tasks to finish – it is very hard to put down!

A real page turner. Excellently written. The depth of the characters draws you in and the plot keeps your interest until the end. ( )

This my 1st book from this author. It was a book I found on a rainy day spent at the library. I'm always unsure about Christian fiction as sometimes they can be a bit preachy. It's not the message that bothers me I just don't like when it overtakes the plot of the book. This book was just awesome and I loved it. Got emotionally invested in all of the characters and was truly impressed with the writing. For such a serious situation it was great how there was a little sarcasm and humor mixed in making it just seem so real. Great book and I look forward to more from her. ( )

I could hardly put this book down and I almost didn't pick it up. Well, I hope this author writes more of these spine-tingling, emotional roller-coaster type of books. ( )
