Description
They say life's a journey -- peaks and valleys, sunshine and shadow. What they don't tell you is the climb never ends; there's always another step, another trail, another peak.
Darby Irish isn't so sure of that. Her ex has moved on to someone new, a prettier (of course) and more petite (ugh) blond, and given Darby her walking papers on romance and her job. The problem is, she doesn't know where to walk after five years of career and relationship stagnation.
Keaton Atticus Cooper knows all about the never-ending climb. He's been running down every trail and up every mountain trying to outdistance the pain in his heart, but everywhere he goes, everything he sees only plunges the knife deeper and reminds him of the wife he lost to cancer.
When mutual friends, Garrett and Bonnie, recruit these two wandering souls to join them in a head-to-head challenge with another four-person team to out-hike their opponents and be the first to Take A Peak, it's an all-out scramble of broken hearts and bragging rights.
Who would've believed Darby's ex and his new girlfriend would stack up against them on the other team? Or that Keaton would discover his greatest opponent is his own heart, and his biggest challenge is clinging to his wife's memory and not falling for Darby? It's a race that tests the heart and faith. Who will make it to the peak first?
