"Near a forest trailhead under the spreading branches of a Western hemlock; before the sun was properly up, before a single pack had been hefted to a shoulder and before a single step had been made up the trail was where these troubles and joys began to crystallize for Sara Jean Cafferty and Archer Jonathan MacClehan. In their defense, the foundation of these had been laid years prior, sediments of family, culture, and genetics generations deep, most of which were deposited before either of them were a twinkle in their mommas' eyes."
So begins the tale of the backcountry hikers whose journey into the wilderness on the border between Montana and Idaho is at once a rousing story of adventure, a drama of relationships and a paean to the wilderness and wild things of the mountainous Northwest. The colorful cast of characters encounters The Hungry Now, a grizzly bear, and find themselves in situations that reveal who they are.
Remarkable for its sharply drawn descriptions of the great grizzly bear and sweeping depictions of magnificent landscapes, Archer MacClehan & The Hungry Now is a page-turning tale by Idaho-and-Montana author Sandy Compton.
