Please remember to bring your borrowed library book “The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck”
Reminder that you are responsible to purchase your copy of book #27: “The Mountain Story” by Lori Lansens.
On his eighteenth birthday, Wolf Truly rides a tram to the top of a mountain near Palm Springs intending to end his life. Instead, he meets three strangers—Nola, Bridget, and Vonn—and a series of unexpected events leaves the four of them stranded in the rugged wilderness. Over five harrowing days, they battle hunger, freezing temperatures, fear, and their own emotional scars. As they struggle to survive, each person reveals painful secrets, discovering the strength of human connection, sacrifice, and hope. Years later, Wolf recounts the life-changing experience to his son, finally sharing the truth about what happened on the mountain.
The novel is both an adventure survival story and an emotional exploration of grief, resilience, forgiveness, and the bonds that can form between strangers. It makes an excellent choice for book clubs because it raises thoughtful questions about courage, redemption, and the choices people make under extraordinary circumstances.
