A person's path through life is never clearly marked... Eighteen-year old Shannon Burke is stuck. Her friends are heading off to college, her job is a complete dead-end, and her mother's just made her part owner of the failing family business. The only bright spot is her upcoming birthday and a visit from her eccentric Aunt Rebecca. But before Shannon can blow out her candles, she receives devastating news: Rebecca is dead.  When she learns that her aunt has gifted her a beat-up camper, Shannon decides to sell it for cold, hard cash. Then she loses her job and finds a mysterious map in the glove box, and in a moment of desperation, she jumps behind the wheel and hits the road.  One map leads to another, and Shannon journeys deep into New York's Adirondack Mountains where she faces her greatest fears and navigates a new reality that is as unpredictable as the wilderness itself. During her scavenger hunt of self-discovery, Shannon uncovers a stunning family secret, experiences the healing power of nature, and learns that a person's path through life is never clearly marked. **  Gold Medal , Eric Hoffer Book Awards **  Bronze Medal , Florida Book Awards ** Bronze Medal, CNY Book Awards ** Bronze Medal,  Moonbeam Children's Book Awards **  Bronze Medal , Independent Publishers Book Awards **  Finalist , Next Generation Indie Book Awards **  Finalist , American Fiction Awards "Should be included in every school library.
