Brief Description:
Award-winning author Jen Ferguson has written a powerful story about teens
grappling with balancing resentment with enduring friendship–and how to
move forward with a life that’s not what they’d imagined. Before that awful
Saturday, Molly used to be inseparable from her brother, Hank, and his best
friend, Tray. The indoor climbing accident that left Hank with a traumatic
brain injury filled Molly with anger. While she knows the accident wasn’t
Tray’s fault, she will never forgive him for being there and failing to
stop the damage. But she can’t forgive herself for not being there either.
Determined to go on the trio’s postgraduation hike of the Pacific Crest
Trail, even without Hank, Molly packs her bag. But when her parents put
Tray in charge of looking out for her, she is stuck backpacking with the
person who incites her easy anger. Despite all her planning, the trail
she’ll walk has a few more twists and turns ahead. . . . Discover the
evocative storytelling and emotion from the author of The Summer of Bitter
and Sweet, which was the winner of the Governor General’s Award, a
Stonewall Award honor book, and a Morris Award finalist, as well as Those
Pink Mountain Nights, a Kirkus Best Book of the Year!
