“Withanee bridges time and space by, literally, following in the footsteps of her father. . . [L]ong distance hikes push us to our limits. And they provide us with countless opportunities for gaining deep personal insight and developing confidence beyond what’s possible in “civilian” life. Walk of Ages motivates me to tackle another big adventure.” —Jared Manninen, Tahoe Trail Guide blog

“As a parent, it’s bittersweet to watch your children take the hard path that you once followed—and to support them as they face the same crazy challenges and even suffer the same injuries. This, quite literally, is the engaging storyline of Walk of Ages, a richly-detailed account of an audacious outdoor adventure as well as a funny, wise reflection on what tests—and strengthens—a family’s bonds across generations.” —Alan Deutschman, professor and Reynolds Chair of Business Journalism, University of Nevada, Reno
