Trevor is former Olympian who now teaches skiing/hiking and suriving skills to kids along with whitewater rafting and rock climbing.On the side he is a local hero who is always helping local police find the missing or injured along the mountainside.He rescues his neighbor Natalie nephew from a lion,that is how they meet.Natalie owens the art gallery next to Trevor's store.Natalie has a gift or disabilty for sculpting but doesn't come without a coast.
This book reminded me a lot of the tv show Criminals Minds were you could and see things from many angles.
I loved the story line the most .I had never heard about this sort of disability with before and was every fascinted with her story.the ending is unprediectable and you never knew what was going to happen next.
both Trevor and Natalie were dealing with some pretty awful history and a lot of things about themselves but as this story unfolded they grew and mature in a accepting who god made them to be.
I recieved this book from WaterBrook press free in exchange for my honest review.

This is a true story.and as the author says,it's not embellished or exaggerated to make for more exciting reading.Not that any embellished would be necessary in this story.
