Summary Helen Carpenter can't quite seem to bounce back. Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again. So when her annoying younger brother Duncan convinces her to sign up for a hard-core wilderness survival course in the backwoods of Wyoming, she hopes it'll be exactly what she needs. Instead, it's a disaster. It's nothing like what she wants, expects, or anticipates. She doesn't anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for example. Or the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especially doesn't anticipate her annoying brother's even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same course to distract her, derail her. And kiss her. But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you can't. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.
