When her friend backs out of their planned hiking trip, seventeen-year-old McKenna decides to tackle the entire Appalachian Trail solo. On the way south to Georgia, she meets and falls for enigmatic Sam. What starts out as an entertaining wilderness romance abruptly becomes a tense survival story--but McKenna's fierce determination in the face of very real danger stays constant.
