About this listen
From the bestselling author of Wish Me Home comes a heart-racing tale of resilience and hope.
When Sadie Harlan visits her daughter, Lauren, at her summer internship in Yosemite National Park, it seems like the perfect way to forget about her empty nest and failing marriage back home. But when the two women get lost on what’s meant to be a short hike, they suddenly find themselves fighting for their lives.
As they search for food, water, and civilization, they battle injury, exhaustion, and natural predators. Sadie, however, is assaulted by more than just the unforgiving elements. She lost her first child years earlier in a tragic accident, and in her sorrow, she’s pushed everyone away - including her husband. Now, Sadie must face her past through a journey of love, loss, and learning to forgive herself if she and Lauren are to stand a chance at getting out of Yosemite alive. Will a mother’s courage be enough to save them both?

So yes mom & daughter get together, but not all goes well..but it’s not what you think. It was a nice read but it wasn’t what I really expected..also a son is mentioned but not enough..and it had the usual ending as most books like this do..
Narrator was ok. She only had 2 voices to do..wasn’t bad, but okay. I would recommend it but it didn’t have the WOW factor I expected.

I am torn on leaving this review. I would leave a 3.5 star if I could. I see most people have left a 4 or 5. I liked this book, just didn't love it. I struggled with Sadie's character at times I thought I would do that for my children but then she seemed to selfish. I thought the daughter Lauren was well written and true to life. The way the story unfolds about the son I found very annoying.
Christine Williams is the narrator of this book and she was wonderful. In Fact she is the main reason I finished the story. Her voice kept me going.
