Very, very good book, excellent feel for being in the wilderness plus experience how it feels to lose your way over such a tragic end. Unless you find a path to stay on it's hard to live through it. Thank you for telling us and know that you have contributed to people with hearts broken. Hopefully it helped you to write it.

This was an excellent memoir. Brad shares his experience with losing a child and going from depressed, addicted to alcohol, and suicidal to finding healing in the Yellowstone wilderness. His story of loss will make you feel physically ill and yet he will teach you so much about processing loss (the wrong and right ways to do it) and the lessons he learned from the animals (mainly mountain lions and grizzlies) that he encountered. I will definitely be purchasing this book when it is released!

Video review coming to YouTube @BandanaBookmom soon!

This was a heart wrenching but beautiful book. The author was not shy about the trauma experienced and his own reaction. He writes so we'll that the reader feels like they are feeling what he is feeling. I thought it was a wonderful story that didnt glorify or sugarcoat anything to provide answers or closures. Instead you're just left wondering how you would behave in the same situation

Wow, what a journey! This book takes you from heartbreak, through the painful self-abuse of addiction, to the beautiful healing of the wilderness. I can't imagine losing a child, especially when you never really get an explanation of how it happened. Nor can I relate to such a strong need for alcohol. But I wholly understand the power of nature. I would like to read more stories from Brad, about his wilderness adventures and how he's now helping others.
