Appalachian Trail - a Novel Darren Drevik

Nathan Townsend is hiking the Appalachian Trail. Unlike the other through-hikers who attempt to walk the entire 2,100-mile long footpath, however, Nate isn?t traveling for adventure or challenge ? he?s walking to escape. With each mile on the trail, he steps further and further from the people and events that have irreparably scarred him. As he crosses paths with a barrage of fellow hikers and townspeople, each carrying their own wounds, he must revisit step-by-step the events that put him on the long trail from Maine to Georgia. Eventually, Nate must make a choice between walking away and reaching out, including to the one woman desperate to rescue him and help him find his trail?s end.
