After her brother dies of muscular dystrophy and her parents break up, twelve-year-old Katahdin runs away to hike the Appalachian Trail. Her mother soon catches up with her but agrees to keep hiking for what turns into two months. Bradley delivers an engrossing tale of mother-daughter reconciliation, grieving, and life on the Trail.
