Mountain Tough — Robin Brande

The mountains can dish it out. But that doesn't mean you have to take it.

Five stories of mountain mystery and survival -- with the occasional touch of the supernatural.

ON RED MOUNTAIN: A woman must survive alone in the mountains after her husband is struck by lightning.

THE RESCUE: A mountain hermit and his dog race to avert a coming disaster -- one that the dog senses before anyone else.

HOME DEER: A mountain widow takes matters into her own hands to protect the nearby woodland creatures.

THE GOLD HUNTER: An injured climber's only hope for survival is a stranger who won't give up.

THE OUTPOST AWAY FROM THE WORLD: A scientist returns to the off-the-grid cabin of her childhood and discovers the mysterious secret to her survival.
