Piper has the skills, the training, and the stubborn streak her grandfather drilled into her. What she doesn't have is the trust of her partner, Russell — a man harboring secrets and carrying wounds far deeper than he lets on. When a routine wilderness certification exercise turns deadly, Piper is left injured, miles from help, and the only hope for her team. She faces a choice no amount of training can prepare her for — push forward or wait for a rescue that may never come. What she doesn't know is that the wilderness isn't the only thing working against her. https://www.dougsjoquist.com/through-the-gap Comparable works include The River, 127 Hours, and The River at Night
