Last summer someone was kind enough to mention my adventure/survival novel DEATH MOUNTAIN (Peachtree Publishers), a summer story set in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Based on a personal experience, my group was caught in a deadly electrical storm on an exposed ridge. The pack horse and mule were struck by lightning and killed; three women in my party were airlifted off the mountain by helicopter.
What sets this story apart from others in the genre is that the two main characters are girls. They are forced to face the challenges of being lost in the untamed wilderness with grit and resourcefulness. In the process, they learn about themselves and develop a lasting friendship.
With appreciation, Sherry Shahan
