But Emily is not alone--she belongs to an eclectic fellowship on a quest to backpack from Georgia to Maine.The hiking group includes: a driven, but unfocused, mid-life attorney, a troubled young woman trying to separate herself from unproductive relationships with men and alcohol, a young, poor outdoors-loving duo in it for the adventure, if they can afford it, an obnoxious know-it-all, and a serious, recently-graduated young professional. These six form unexpected relationships with each other and the staff at Thirdway lodge.Mitch Carson is a retired engineer who has run Thirdway for several years.
