Description
"Where is my son?" Asher's mother screamed as they loaded her husband's body into the ambulance.
Five miles up the trail, Asher was going deeper into the wilderness. His compulsive need for routine, hike to the lake at the same time on the same trail with the same gear, is now amplified by his father's last wish, to find their friend and deliver supplies.
In Lincoln, Wyoming, fourteen-year-old Caleb (Finding Caleb: Search and Rescue Dog Book I) is stunned when the sheriff asks him to urgently bring search dog "Boo" to find Asher. When they find Asher near the lake, the adventure is just beginning. Asher insists on staying "lost" so he can connect with an off-the-grid survivalist. Then a woman in a wheel chair helps them all stay out of trouble with the law.
Finding Asher is a story of resilience and the driving need for belonging, as Caleb and Boo search the wilderness and survive the with the help of people with autism, mental illness, and physical disabilities.

Although this is listed as YA, adults shouldn't miss this book because it deals with adult life issues. This is not exactly a sequel to the first book, Finding Caleb, as it takes place a few years earlier but it's the story of another search & rescue adventure undertaken by Boo and Caleb. Besides the search & rescue aspect, this one also takes on the stigma and difficulties faced by the disabled, physically or mentally, and the unhoused in our communities. These difficult topics are covered with grace, understanding, and respect. I appreciate the author's willingness to tackle these issues with compassion when so many folks prefer to look the other way. No one should feel invisible.
Having read the first book, I was prepared to shed a couple of tears with this one. What I wasn't prepared for was to be completely undone by the final two pages...I lost it. Caleb and Boo's unfailing humanity did me in.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the digital ARC. All opinions and the review are my own.
