A year after her divorce, 32-year-old Helen Carpenter is in a rut. At the urging of her brother, Duncan, she signs up for a wilderness survival course. When Helen learns Duncan's annoying best friend, Jake, will also be there, she is certain the trip will not go well. It is the strangest trip Helen has ever taken, spending three weeks with only the barest of survival gear in the mountains of Wyoming, where she must deal with blistered feet, bad food, freezing nights, mosquitoes, and a motley group of fellow hikers. Despite the difficulties, the wilderness has a way of changing Helen. The camaraderie of the shared experience and the difficult physical and mental challenges of back-country hiking bring Helen new wisdom. The quiet allows Helen to reach deep inside herself, to face difficult questions and answer them truthfully. Center (The Lost Husband, 2013) has written a wonderful story, a fast-paced read with sharp, perfectly written dialogue. Her newest does exactly what we want a good novel to do, introduce us to characters who engage us and take us on a journey. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
