'I finished this book and bought a southwest flight for a solo hiking trip to Lake Tahoe California. And, maybe most of all, how sometimes you just have to get really, really lost before you even have a hope of being found. How the things you hold on to become the story of your life. Yet, despite the hardships and the indignities, the mountains bring their own wisdom to Helen’s life, somehow teaching her the very things she needs to learn. Thus begins the strangest adventure of Helen Carpenter’s well-behaved life: three weeks in a remote mountain range where she will survive a summer blizzard, a group of sorority girls, rutting season for the elk, and more than one infuriating man. Which is why she signed up for a wilderness survival course in Wyoming. She needed to do something wild and adventurous and completely out of character. Thirty-two and divorced for a year, Helen knew it was time-past time-to pull herself together.
