'Compelling and heartbreaking' Ann NapolitanoA deeply moving memoir of a young daughter, her dying mother - and the trail of letters and gifts she left behind.

'Her messages met me like guideposts in a dark forest; if her words couldn't point the way, at least they offered the comfort of knowing someone had been there before'Ten days before Gwen Kingston turned twelve, her beloved mother - with whom she shared a birthday - died. She left behind two chests - one for Gwen and one for her brother - filled with lovingly wrapped presents and letters marking the milestones she would miss: driver's licences, graduations and every one of their birthdays until the age of thirty. Each gift a chance to reach back into the past and, for the briefest moment, hear her voice again.

Over the last twenty years, the chest of treasures has travelled with Gwen across a continent, from state to state and apartment to apartment, growing lighter with each passing birthday. And now, just three gifts remain . . .

In this beautiful and heart-rending memoir, Gwen describes growing up in the shadow of loss, guided by what her mother left behind. Woven in is her mother's own story, and that of their whole family - tragedies foreseen and unforeseen, paths taken and not taken. It's about a mother's love for her daughter, but more than that, it is a story of marriage, family, inheritance and everything that shapes a life.

Excellent little book
Format: Paperback
Excellent little book, with some of Patanjali's original text in Sanskrit along with a translation. I read a little bit every day. Great insights. i have no idea what the critic of this book is talking about. $6.95 for this book is a great deal, and I have absolutely no ties to the printers or sellers of this item.

Merits the Five-Star Ratings
Format: Paperback
Barney “Scout” Mann and his wife “Frodo” host many prospective Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers, at their home, and shuttle them to the trail to start their trek. Scout is a Triple Crowner having hiked the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide and Appalachian Trails and has been very active as a volunteer, serving as a board member and in various capacities for several trail organizations. This eminence translates into a great number of five-star reviews: yet, this account merits them. Journeys North is about the author’s PCT thru-hike in 2005. It predates “Wild” and the resultant explosion in the trail’s popularity. The book focuses on the Mann’s and several hikers, who move north, in their proximity. There is considerable background and detail given about these characters, which enhances the readers appreciation of their trip. This balances with sufficient description about the trail and the hike making Journeys North a captivating and unique read among trail narratives. In the final chapters, the trekkers are buffeted and challenged by early season blizzards. Forced out of the snowbound high mountains, Frodo, Scout and their group improvise a low land route to complete their walk. With numerous of characters, the bouncing around and referencing of prior information can be confusing to the reader. There’s some heartwarming tales. The author describes an anonymous benefactor who provides two out-of-funds youngsters a considerable amount of money allowing them to continue towards Canada. The reader doesn’t learn whether the pair completes their journey; but that was a truly generous act, Barney. Journeys North transcends the trail in its portrayal of the human condition and the adversity and challenges that we confront in life. The book validates the camaraderie and caring that develops among hikers and the positive effect the PCT can have on changing lives. Well done.
