Will her mountains-spiritual, emotional, and physical-destroy her? Or will she survive? Tatum Kessler, a timid, thirty-something woman who actively avoids risk, thinks she has her perfect life planned with the man of her dreams. But he seldom speaks of his past. And, in contrast to her, he gets his greatest thrills from the extreme sport of mountain climbing-on Colorado's 14,000-foot mountain peaks. Tatum finds that what seems too good to be true, probably is. Through an avalanche of tragedies, as she works her way through suspense and intrigue, she learns that risks of love-and rescue-are worth taking. A debut, contemporary novel about trusting others, holding to faith in God, and living to the extreme.
