After the death of their wife and mother, sixteen-year-old Patrick Nolan and his father, Kevin, uproot to West Virginia to start a new life as the owners of a rock-climbing shop. But when Kevin's overwhelming loss drives him to attempt increasing dangerous and extreme climbs, Patrick realizes that he and his unlikely ally, the daughter of a local pastor, must act before he loses both parents in the same year. Set in 1976, at the height of the golden age of rock-climbing, this novel delivers the excitement Tom Morrisey's readers have come to expect, together with eloquent characterization, heightened artistry, and fascinating explorations of the human condition.
