Lone Mountain

Fifteen-year-old Travis Jennings is carrying the grief of losing his mother when his father sends him to Lone Mountain Camp, tucked deep in the mountains of southwestern Montana. Travis expects a summer away from home. He doesn't expect it to change his life.

At camp, Travis meets A.J., a guarded boy carrying a secret of his own. Along with the other young people at Lone Mountain, Travis begins learning about friendship, trust, faith, and forgiveness.

Then disaster strikes.

What begins as a summer at camp becomes a fight for survival as the mountain, the wilderness, and circumstances beyond their control test everything they have learned.

Travis and A.J. must face fear, loss, anger, and the painful truth that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting. Sometimes the greatest mountain isn't the one standing in front of you. It's the one inside you.

Lone Mountain is a powerful Christian coming-of-age story about children carrying burdens they never chose, the friendships that can change a life, and the courage it takes to move beyond anger, shame, grief, and circumstances that seem impossible to overcome.

It is a story of family, friendship, faith, forgiveness, courage, survival, and hope—and the difficult journey toward finding a way forward.

For readers who have ever felt judged by someone else's choices, struggled with loss, carried anger they couldn't let go of, or wondered whether their circumstances had already determined their future, Lone Mountain offers a message of hope:

Your past may shape part of your story, but it does not have to determine who you become.
