One man against the mountain

"This story isn't just about a man's struggle to survive a brutal Walker Prairie winter in a canvas tent. It's also about Danny Longwell's struggles within himself: his feelings about his overly strict father; his feelings about death; his lack of self-confidence; and his battles with loneliness. Through the brutally cold, stormy winter, as he labors to keep warm and meditates on his life and his sanity for this undertaking, he slowly comes to an understanding regarding himself and others."--P.
