Just Keep WalkingJust Keep Walking

"It's been two years since Jo's parents divorced. Two years since the idea of being alone became terrifying. But now, Jo is determined to prove that she and her mother can survive on their own. With their entire lives stuffed into a pair of thirty-pound packs, Jo and her mom are about to set out on the Superior Hiking Trail. It's a hike that Jo's dad did with her brother, a trip he always promised her they'd do together, too. Now, without Dad around, Joe's determined to do it anyway--and prove she's not a quitter like him. But just how long will they be able to survive the endless aches and pains, the scorching heat, and the crippling self-doubt? How long will it take before Jo's mom reaches her breaking point? How long would Jo survive if she was left out here alone...completely alone? As one obstacle after another continues to test her, Jo will have to face her greatest fears and figure out why she's really out there. A story of healing and the restorative power of the wilderness, Just Keep Walking is a quest for independence, resilience, and the knowledge that we're all so much stronger than we give ourselves credit for"--Back cover.
