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.
