Now home is just Dani and her sad, silent mother, and Danis got to get away. She plans to do something amazing, and go where her parents will never find her: shes going to hike the whole Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. The trail is a legend in her family, the place where her parents met, fell in love, and got married 14 years before.Unfortunately for her master plan, her mother doesnt have much trouble figuring out where Danis gone. Now its the two of them, hiking for as long as Dani can manage to persuade her mother to keep going. But Danis got an even longer emotional journey to make-and its one she and her mom need to make together.From the Hardcover edition.
