A tale so vivid, intricate, and intimate that it puts high-def TV to shame.

Pam Houston, an early master of the art of rendering fiercely independent, brilliant women in love with the wrong men (Sarah Norris, Barnes & Noble Review ), delivers a novel that whisks us from one breathtaking precipice to the next.

Along the way, we unravel the story of Pam (a character not unlike the author), a fearless traveler aiming to leave her metaphorical baggage behind as she seeks a comfort zone in the air.

With the help of a loyal cast of friends, body workers, and a new partner who helps her to be at home, she finally finds something like ground under her feet.
