In the spring of 1997, Gary Ferguson spent three months with one of the best wilderness therapy programs in the country -- living with two dozen bright, troubled, and surprisingly average American kids. He heard their stories and watched them struggle against a backdrop of staggering beauty. Later, Ferguson kept in close contact with them for a year after they climbed their last mountain and headed home. This is the unforgettable story of what it is like to be a teenager -- and a parent -- in America today. How life gets broken, and the surprising, life-affirming changes that can happen in the middle of nowhere.
