Aspens and Justins paths serendipitously aligned on the Pacific Crest Trail when both were walking from Mexico to Canada, separately and aloneboth using thru-hiking in hopes of escaping their pasts. Both sought to redefine themselves beneath the stars. By the time they made it to the snowy Cascade Range of British Columbiathe trails endAspen and Justin were in love. Embarking on a new pilgrimage the next summer, they returned to those same mossy mountains where theyd met, and they married. They built a world together, three years of a happy marriage. Until a cold November morning, when, after kissing Aspen goodbye, Justin left to attend the funeral of a close friend. He never came back. As days became weeks, her husbands inexplicable absence left Aspen unmoored. Shock, grief, fear, and anger battled for controlbut nothing prepared her for the disarming truth. A revelation that would lead Aspen to reassess not only her own life but that of the disappeared as well.
