Lily, 12, Sophie, 18, and their mother have received the
worst news – their father has disappeared into a suddenly appearing crevasse
while descending from his favorite mountain, Denali, in Alaska. Lily refuses to believe that her capable
father would allow such a thing to happen, so she convinces Sophie to go with
her to Denali to look for him themselves, since no one else will. While they have some skills, the sisters are
not really prepared for what they will face on the mountain.
Watching the under prepared sisters head out into the
wilderness to look for their outdoorsman father is a painful series of
potentially fateful missteps. Lily and
Sophie’s journey to find solace for their grief is at least short-lived. While the important plot is girl vs self, the
girl vs nature parts save this from being maudlin.
