A young woman stuck in a rut is dragged by her grieving grandmother to hike the Inca Trail – but can a holiday heal heartbreak, or will longtime secrets tear them apart? A heartwarming novel from the acclaimed author of Someone Else's Bucket List .
Twenty-five-year-old Heather Russo is miserable – work is non-stop, her love life is in tatters and she's in a total rut. But Heather's not the only struggling woman in her family. Her mother, Sandy, is finally separating from Heather's womanizing father, while her grandmother, Bonnie, is grieving her third husband by carrying his urn everywhere she goes… even the supermarket. She's had enough of wallowing, though, and plans a surprise girls' trip: they're going to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu!
Heather is a reluctant hiker – until she meets charming Owen on the trail and things start to get interesting. But, of course, that's when Bonnie decides to share some long-held secrets that just might send Heather and Sandy over the edge. Will they even make it to the summit?
With every twist on the trail, Heather learns more about her family – and herself – than she anticipated. And as her time with Owen becomes precious, she's forced to reconsider what she really wants for her future.
