If you like survival stories, “reality TV’s Survivorman, is
probably for you. It follows Les Stroud, left on his own, with minimal
equipment, in the wilderness to videotape his survival experience. Ok it’s
pretty hokey with lots of huffing, puffy, grunting and groaning and trumped up
dangers in unlikely situations. For a
real survival story I’d recommend Lori Lansens captivating novel The Mountain
Story. Five days. Four hikers. Three
survivors. And a
gripping tale of adventure, sacrifice and survival set in the unforgiving wilderness
of a mountain.
Nola has gone up the mountain to commemorate her wedding
anniversary, the first since her beloved husband passed. Her daughter Bridget is training for a triathlon.
Vonn, her granddaughter is working out
her teenage rebellion at eight thousand feet. Still reeling with guilt for the tragic accident that robbed him of his best
friend, Wolf Truly is the only experienced hiker among them. Returning to the site of the accident he plans
to take his own life. By chance he meets the three women whereupon they become
stranded in a freezing blizzard on the mountain without food or water or
shelter……
I think this book meets the definition of a page turner…J 
Happy Holidays to each and every one!

This does sound like a fascinating read. Thanks for the heads-up.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
That's a very good review, and I don't even have to know who Les Stroud is. And I'm thoroughly convinced this lady has a very active imagination. I wish she'd written my life story and peopled it with characters like this and edited out some of the huffing, puffy, grunting and groaning. Thanks Sr T.
Happy New Year! I'll definitely look up this one after I finish three projects I have in front of me.
A great review!! I will be checking this book out. Thank You :-)
Going to have to look for this one. It sounds really good.
