Most come to Glacier National Park for its beauty.
Others come to escape.
All leave changed.
Embark on an adventure with the newest collection of short stories from the Missoula Writing Society. Meet three characters fumbling through life and the precarious mountain terrain of Glacier National Park. One is on the run. Another is grappling with failure. One is searching for acceptance. But, all are In Glacier's Grip.
Meradeth Houston Throwing Sparks
Feared because she is different, a woman and her giant mutt find haven in a cabin. But when the nearby woods catch fire, her illusion of safety goes up in the flames that barricade all escape routes. She, her furry companion, and the backcountry firefighter who came to rescue her must prevail-or perish?
Jennifer Bisbing A Man, a Bond, and a Mountain
High country meadows might harbor a cranky bear-or a vengeful rogue agent, as a James Bond-like character discovers. To stay one step ahead, she must use all her daredevil trickery, her few allies, and her hideaways. But will that be enough?
Clare Tallier Skinny Socks
To this ranger, summer in Glacier is a trial. Her beloved park is invaded by nameless, faceless visitors who treat wild animals like pets, nearly fall off cliffs to get selfies, and go hiking in flip-flops. She wishes they all would go away. Alone in the splendor of nature is best. Or is it?
