Trail Mail

Not only is Lia backpacking the sixty-mile Timber Loop trail for the first time, but she’s also hiking it alone. Lia has backpacked solo plenty of times, so she starts the hike much more excited than nervous — that is, until she discovers an eerie note in the first trail shelter she passes. The following day she discovers another. Though the notes are clearly meant not for her but for someone named Andi, Lia fears what might happen if she runs into the author all alone in the woods. But beyond her own trepidation, she worries about what might become of Andi. Determined to warn this woman she has never met, Lia formulates a plan that risks putting herself in danger’s path. When she finally locates Andi, an unexpected friendship begins to form, even under their disturbing circumstances. But Lia feels herself wanting more. Does Andi desire the same? And will Lia get up the nerve to find out?
