Book Reviews of Crossing Divides: A Couple's Story of Cancer, Hope, and Hiking Montana's Continental Divide

Book Review: Grizzly Cancer
Summary: 5 Stars

My heart learned from this book. I have no higher praise.

It gripped me from the first page. I just wanted to hold her and Scott in my arms. Scott's use of the grizzly bear prowling through their lives was an amazing truth and analog for the cancer.

Read this book; your heart can always use more courage.

Summary of Crossing Divides: A Couple's Story of Cancer, Hope, and Hiking Montana's Continental Divide

Be inspired by how the human spirit prevails over cancer

Crossing Divides is the story of a young couple?s heroic struggle with cancer and their 800-mile hike across Montana?s Continental Divide. The hike provides an opportunity for metaphorical comparisons between perserverance and fighting cancer. Scott and Katie face their challenges--from chemotherapy to grizzly bears--with spirit, resolve, and a unified front. This celebration of the precious, unpredictable nature of human life and wild places illustrates the courage it takes to put one foot in front of the other--without knowing whether peace or danger lies around the next bend.
