A year after getting divorced, Helen Carpenter, thirty-two, lets
her annoying, ten years younger brother talk her into signing up
for a wilderness survival course. It's supposed to be a chance for
her to pull herself together again, but when she discovers that her
brother's even-more-annoying best friend is also coming on the
trip, she can't imagine how it will be anything other than a
disaster. Thus begins the strangest adventure of Helen's
well-behaved life: three weeks in the remotest wilderness of a
mountain range in Wyoming where she will survive mosquito
infestations, a surprise summer blizzard, and a group of sorority
girls. Yet, despite everything, the vast wilderness has a way of
making Helen's own little life seem bigger, too. And, somehow the
people who annoy her the most start teaching her the very things
she needs to learn. Like how to stand up for herself. And how being
scared can make you brave. And how sometimes you just have to get
really, really lost before you can even have a hope of being found.
"Such a charming, heartfelt novel about a woman who needs to escape
from her life in order to rebuild it. I read it all in one
delicious gulp." (Sarah Pekkanen, author of The Opposite of Me).
