On Chocorua — Robin Reardon

A mountain. A blizzard. A young man new to hiking and to love, making mistakes in both. 

First year of college. A great time to re-invent yourself. Nathan Bartlett takes the opportunity very seriously -- maybe a little too seriously. And he makes mistakes. 

His mistakes? Falling for a straight guy who reminds him of his beloved older brother. Getting too invested in the substance abuse disorders of two other students. And climbing a mountain in a snowstorm for all the wrong reasons.

But he also develops friendships that will be his for life. He faces his inner demons and comes up with a plan. And he realizes that answers to important questions are seldom waiting on the surface but must be worked for, or struggled for, or suffered for -- and sometimes all three.

Nathan is a trailblazer on his own journey. His success will be measured not by how well he follows someone else's path, but by whether he can forge his own. This first book in a series of three novels gets Nathan started on a journey that will teach him about himself, about life, and about love.

Walk with him.
