“Lace up your hiking boots! Let Griffin guide you over granite mountains, through thunderous storms and wildflower-studded meadows.”
— Barbara Olson Lawrence, artist and author of the forthcoming Drawing Water
Force of Nature is equal parts gripping adventure tale, personal memoir, and vivid nature writing.
Three friends, women in their fifties, set out to hike “the most beautiful long-distance trail in the world,” the John Muir Trail. From the outset, their adventure is complicated by self-inflicted accidents and ferocious weather, then enriched when they “adopt” a young hiker abandoned by her partner along the trail.
The women experience the terror of lightning at eleven-thousand feet, the thrill of walking through a towering waterfall, and the joy of dancing among midnight moonshadows. For a month, they live immersed in vast natural beauty, tackle the trail’s physical demands, and find camaraderie among an ensemble cast of eccentric trail characters. Together, they are pulled forward toward the trail’s end atop the highest peak in the High Sierra, Mt. Whitney, and the culmination of their transformative journey.
Praise for Force of Nature:

— Kirkus Reviews
“Force of Nature is like Wild meets A Walk in the Woods.”
— Cam Torrens, Appalachian Trial thru-hiker and award-winning author of Stable and False Summit
