The Romantic's Guide to Wilderness Survival

Love can arrive in unexpected guises, and break through barriers that seem impossible to overcome. Billy Charbonneau, an edgy, charismatic young homeless man, is wrongly implicated for a crime he didn't commit. He flees Seattle for the rugged Cascade Mountain wilderness, and becomes stranded with a conflictual yuppie couple, Walt McCullough and Eleanor Sakamura. They’re on the verge of a breakup after hiding crucial secrets from each other, and have come to the mountains for one last try at rekindling their relationship. These three companions (along with Max, a disfigured but plucky Cairn Terrier who's adopted Billy) must share resources and work together to survive--or perish. Their struggles are complicated by a serious injury, an early snowfall, and an emerging love triangle. When ghostly bagpipes in the night beckon them in an unexpected direction, they must decide: is the Piper’s restless spirit intent on helping them to safety--or leading them into even graver peril? And could the enigmatic, oddly familiar young woman who keeps appearing in Billy's dreams hold the key to his future?
