"When Trish Herr became pregnant with
her first daughter, Alex, she and her husband, Hugh, vowed to instill a
bond with nature in their children. By the time Alex was five, her
over-the-top energy levels led Trish to believe that her very young
daughter might be capable of hiking adult-sized mountains.
In" Up, "
Trish recounts their always exhilarating--and sometimes
harrowing--adventures climbing all forty-eight of New Hampshire's
highest mountains. Readers will delight in the expansive views and fresh
air that only peakbaggers are afforded, and will laugh out loud as
Trish urges herself to "mother up" when she and Alex meet an ornery--and
alarmingly bold--spruce grouse on the trail. This is, at heart, a
resonant, emotionally honest account of a mother's determination to
foster independence and fearlessness in her daughter, to teach her "that
small doesn't necessarily mean weak; that girls can be strong; and that
big, bold things are possible."" (Publisher Description) Check Our Catalog
