Learning How to Fall

by Deborah Pate

Sam, a respected teacher and recovering alcoholic, reunites with old college buddies after the suicide of one of their dearest friends. While chatting after the funeral, the ladies decide to embark on a backpacking trip along the Continental Divide. Five quirky women head out on the trail in packs as colorful as their personalities. The trip gives them much more than they bargained for. It gives them back their lives.
