Over the years, they grew apart, each coping with the loss in her own way. Olivia plunged herself into law school, work, and a materialist view of the world--what you see is what you get, and that's all you get. Melanie dropped out of college and developed an online life-coaching business around her cafeteria-style spirituality--a little of this, a little of that, whatever makes you happy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, at Melanie's insistence (and against Olivia's better judgment), they are embarking on a hike in the Porcupine Mountains of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In this remote wilderness they'll face their deepest fears, question their most dearly held beliefs, and begin to see that perhaps the best way to move forward is the one way they had never considered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichigan Notable Book Award winner Erin Bartels draws from personal experience hiking backcountry trails with her sister to bring you a story about the complexities of grief, faith, and sisterhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Bartels\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eAll That We Carried\u003c\/i\u003e, 2020 Christy finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Words between Us\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWe Hope for Better Things\u003c\/i\u003e, a 2020 Michigan Notable Book, 2020 WFWA Star Award-winner, and 2019 Christy finalist.
