My Heart's Trail: A Summer Adventure on the North Country Trail
The author and her three boys, ages 8, 7, and 4, took off in the summer of 2015 to conquer as much of the Northern Michigan Portion's of the North Country Trail as they could. It started out as a trip that would be filled with daring adventures and surprises at each turn. It ended up being a journey full of connections, personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. Grief has a way of sneaking up on a person and changing the way you view everything. A coming home for the author and a living example for her children, that taking chances on one’s dreams is a great risk, but one that is always worth taking. This story is sure to inspire you to hit the trail, follow your dreams, believe in yourself, and never underestimate what a child can do.

Loved loved loved this story!!!
I came across “My Heart’s Trail” looking for other’s experiences on the NCT. I plan to hike 60 miles of Michigan’s NCT this coming Winter and journal it. The story was far more than I anticipated and spoke to my heart on so many levels! I too understood from this story that my desires that lead me to hiking are always in someway an effort to let nature assist me to reconnect with myself.
As a mother of three children of my own, I respect and appreciate the experiences Janet shared with her children and the strength and vulnerableness
as a mother-woman she demonstrated on the trail supporting them. I wish I would have taken such a brave awesome opportunity with my three. I hope to read more from this author! She is a talented author that pulls you into her writing and makes her story your own!!!!
