The Carrying: A Story of Loss, Untamed Wilderness, and What Carries You Through - Paperback

by Erica Canevari (Author)

A woman. A horse. Three weeks alone in the Marble Mountains backcountry wilderness. Nora Calloway rides in carrying more than her packs - the grief of a husband lost to a long illness, a career she walked away from, a self she can barely remember. She is looking for connection. Deep in a sheltered valley, something ancient and watchful reaches toward her from the tree line - not the forest, something of it. Something tall and dark and ancient and mythical. Something that recognizes in her the same grief it has carried alone for a very long time.

The Carrying is a novel about loss, untamed wilderness, and the extraordinary grace of being seen.
