An ice axe, well-worn running shoes,
and two hearts woven together forever
One day after reading a book about a wilderness adventurer, David Pierce's fifteen-year-old daughter, Chera, announced that she wanted to climb a mountain. What David heard behind that wish was a bold declaration: "I'm growing up, Dad-what are you going to do about it?"
A few weeks later they bought matching backpacks. Over a three-year period they climbed five mountains and ran in two mara- thons. Together they suffered sore muscles, bitter cold, sprained knees, shin splints, and broken spirits. But they also reveled in blazing sunsets, glissaded on a glacier, and celebrated numerous victories great and small. And in the process, they built an unshakable father-daughter bond that will withstand the tests of time.
As you read this wise, warmhearted, and often hilarious story of a daughter's (and a father's) coming of age, you'll discover ways you too can create strong, loving relationships with the important people in your life, as you make your way through the valleys and over the summits of life together.
