The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens
The Hook Feel a bit embarrassed that I won this book in 2015 and have just read it. My sincere thanks to Lori Lansens for the opportunity to read new novel.
The Line - ”Guess you're stronger than you think”
The Sinker - I picked the above quote as much of what this story is about comes back to this opinion. What do people do when faced with horrible odds but the will to live? In the case of the main character, Wolf Truly, this presents a stronger challenge as he sets out to The Mountain, without the spirit of survival, rather the opposite. What transpires will test him in ways he never imagined.
I'm a sucker for this kind of story. Wilderness, nature, survival, choices. There were a few missteps for me but I try to remind myself these are the author's decisions, not mine. It gives me something to think about, why an author chooses one path, one event, one wrap or outcome rather than another. All in all I enjoyed the journey.
