The Mountain Story: A Novel

The Mountain Story: A Novel

â€œLori Lansens has created a heart-pounder of a book that is every bit as much of an emotional roller-coaster as an adventurous oneâ€ (New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult).

In New York Times bestselling author Lori Lansensâ€™ â€œmoving portrait of the human spiritâ€”as fierce, lovely, and indomitable as nature itselfâ€ (People, â€œBook of the Weekâ€), Nola has decided to hike up a mountain to commemorate her wedding anniversary, the first since her beloved husband passed. Blonde, rail-thin Bridget is training for a triathalon. Vonn is working out her teenage rebellion at eight thousand feet, driven by family obligation and the urge to escape her mistakes. Still reeling from the tragic accident that robbed him of his best friend, Wolf Truly is the only experienced hiker in this group of four strangers but has come to the cliffs on his eighteenth birthday to end his life.

When a series of missteps strands them together in the wilderness, these four broken souls soon realize that their only defense against the brutality of nature is one another. As one day without rescue spirals dramatically into the next, and misadventure turns to nightmare, they begin to form an inextricable bond, pushing themselves and one another further than they ever could have dreamed possible. The three who make it home alive will be forever changed by their harrowing days on the mountain.

Braving a landscape both unforgivingly harsh and breathtakingly beautiful, Nola, Bridget, Vonn, and Wolf find themselves faced with an impossible question: How much will they sacrifice for a stranger? The Mountain Story is a fast-paced, suspenseful, and a gorgeous tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. â€œYour heart will be in your throat,â€ says Helen Simonson, New York Times bestselling author of Major Pettigrewâ€™s Last Stand.
