About this item
In this heartwarming tale, three generations of women embark on a transformative journey along the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu, seeking healing and renewal amidst personal struggles and heartbreak.
Heather Russo, at twenty-five, finds herself in the throes of yet another breakup and grappling with self-doubt. Working remotely amplifies her feelings of loneliness and frustration. Meanwhile, her mother Sandy is navigating a bitter divorce and questioning the choices that led her to this point. Heather's grandmother Bonnie, mourning the loss of her third husband, carries his urn everywhere, symbolizing her deep grief.
Determined not to let despair define her 70th birthday, Bonnie proposes a bold adventure inspired by a friend's grandson: hiking the challenging Incan Trail. Reluctantly, Heather and Sandy agree to join her, each carrying their emotional baggage alongside their hiking gear. As they trek through the rugged terrain towards Machu Picchu, they confront their past hurts and resentments, gradually opening up to each other in ways they never have before.
Amidst the physical challenges of the trail, the women share stories, secrets, and long-held emotions. Each step towards the summit becomes a metaphorical shedding of their past burdens, paving the way for healing and newfound understanding. Through their journey, they discover the extraordinary resilience within themselves and the power of family bonds to mend even the deepest wounds.
This stirring novel, reminiscent of Rebecca Serle and Josie Silver, celebrates the strength of women, the complexities of relationships, and the transformative power of embarking on a journey—both physical and emotional—to discover new beginnings and the promise of a brighter future. ❤️📚❤️
