Four hikers. Three survivors. From Lori Lansens, author of the national bestsellers \u003ci\u003eRush Home Road, The Girls\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wife's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e comes a gripping tale of adventure, sacrifice and survival in the unforgiving wilderness of a legendary mountain.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e     On his 18th birthday, Wolf Truly takes the tramway to the top of the mountain that looms over Palm Springs, intending to jump to his death. Instead he encounters strangers wandering in the mountain wilderness, three women who will change the course of his life. Through a series of missteps he and the women wind up stranded, in view of the city below, but without a way down. They endure five days in freezing temperatures without food or water or shelter, and somehow find the courage to carry on.\u003cbr\u003e     Wolf, now a grown man, has never told his son, or anyone, what happened on the mountain during those five days, but he can't put it off any longer. And in telling the story to his only child, Daniel, he at last explores the nature of the ties that bind and the sacrifices people will make for love. The mountain still has a hold on Wolf, composed of equal parts beauty and terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLORI LANSENS was a successful screenwriter before writing her first novel, \u003ci\u003eRush Home Road\u003c\/i\u003e, which was translated into twelve languages and published in fifteen countries.
