Through evocative landscapes and formative journeys, Hope Brink explores hiker Heather’s ascent from despair to self-reclamation. This powerful novel chronicles her struggle with severe depression and complex PTSD, shaped by harassment and isolation, and her determination to rebuild through connection, courage, and the mountains she calls home. From the peaks of Kinder Scout to the icy heights of the Alps, Heather’s story interlaces the rugged beauty of nature with the raw terrain of recovery, offering an unflinching yet ultimately hopeful account of finding liberation and trust among summits and companions.
