Meet Me At The Summit

For most 19-year-olds, a cross-country trip is an offer you can't refuse, but for Marly, it's the last thing she wants after losing both her parents in a car accident. Nine months after their death, Marly would rather stay home working the retail job she hates, than deal with her loss. It isn't until family and friends corner her into driving her mom's renovated 1978 VW bus from Washington to New Hampshire that Marly is forced to face her grief and understand the guilt she feels over her parents' death. Skeptical, Marly goes on the trip, warily exploring the life her parents knew she always wanted-hiking mountains and living out her photography dreams. On the way, she'll discover places and people who'll test her emotions and a guy who pushes at the walls she's so carefully built around herself. Marly must decide: can she face her deepest wounds and reclaim the life she thought was gone forever? Meet Me at the Summit is an intimate tale of grief, finding yourself after deep loss, and coming to terms with how life changes when you least expect it. It follows Marly as she both runs from and towards the emotions she has long held back regarding her parents' death. A deep, insightful look into the coming-of-age theme through a heart-breaking narrative.

Randy Pierce was on top of the world, 22 years old, fresh out of college and thriving at an excellent job. His promising future seemed certain. Then, in just two short and devastating weeks, an unexpected neurological disorder plunged him into blindness. Randy, believing his future had vanished in the blink of an eye, wondered, "How can my life have meaning now?" Before he could fully answer, he had further to fall. Blindness was far from the worst challenge he would face. See You at the Summit is Randy's uplifting personal account of his journey through adversity to accomplishment. This improbable tale of human resiliency follows Randy as he learns to pick up the pieces of his life while discovering the extreme love, devotion and bravery of his guide dogs. He climbs from his lowest point, persevering to historic achievements in hiking, winning a National Marathon Championship, and becoming a highly sought motivational speaker. Randy's insightful vision will show you how our choices in responding to life's challenges define us so much more than those challenges ever could and perhaps, how a blind man really can see! See You at the Summit is built upon an indomitable spirit inviting you to share in summits of success and reach your peak potential. "In a world full of motivational books, there is quite simply nothing like See You At The Summit. Through his own deeply personal experiences, Randy not only explains how he battled through his own loss of sight, but gives the reader an emotional roadmap for how to approach and ultimately overcome obstacles in their own life. It doesn't take 20/20 vision to see that this book is pure inspiration." Court Crandall Creator of the movie Old School Founder of Positivity Marketing & Entertainment
