Spend a week with Maria and her family at camp as they reset their values after the shock of 9/11. When the world shuts down, Maria and her husband, Mike, pause to reflect on how they want their family life to look moving forward. Overwhelmed with their pace of life that is centered on junk values they decide to focus on what is really important. Nestled in the forest they reconnect with themselves, one another, and with their community. It is a week to laugh, love, and grow together.
It's not all fun and games, though, as Maria struggles to let go of controlling everyone's day. Doubts, discomfort, and bears hover nearby to disrupt the family's transition. Will she trust in the camp spirit and her new community to come to the rescue? By leaning on and learning from other campers (her new friends) will she allow herself and her family to bond in nature? The reader can treasure the lessons learned and take a few to try with their family.
