From New York Times best-selling author Lori Lansens comes a harrowing survival story about four strangers who spend five days lost in the mountain wilderness above Palm Springs. Four rise the mountain, but only three will come down. Over the morning of Wolf Truly's 18th birthday, he boards the first cable car to head in the mountains just a few miles from his sun-bleached trailer home in the desert community beyond Palm Springs. Armed with nothing but the clothes on his back, Wolf's intention that morning was to give up on life - specifically at the mountain site of his best friend's tragic accident twelve months ago. But on that shaky ride in the mountain, fate intervenes and Wolf meets three women that will leave an indelible imprint on the rest of his life. Through a series of missteps, the four find yourself lost and stranded on the list of forested cliffs - in sight of the desert city below, but unable to discover a way down. As the times pass without rescue, we come to understand how all of them had become on the mountain that morning. So that as their situation shifts from misadventure to nightmare, the lost hikers forge an inextricable bond, pushing themselves, and each other, beyond their limits. Similar to John Krakauer's modern classic Into the Wild and Cheryl Strayed's number-one best-selling Oprah-endorsed Wild, Lori Lansen's The Mountain Story is a deeply affecting novel that pays homage to the rugged beauty - and utterly unforgiving nature - of the wilderness, and considers the question: What price are you willing to pay not limited to the ones you love, but for a complete stranger?
