Description
When a college student from Iowa gets his dream job at a wilderness adventure camp in northern Minnesota, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime that will lead him far away from everything and everyone he's ever known. As he wrestles with the challenges of being an inexperienced guide in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, surprisingly, his two best friends end up being people he never would have expected: a rough and tumble girl from Chicago, and an exotic, foreign-exchange student from New Zealand. Throughout the summer, the unlikely trio forms a tight bond that is tried and tested by the unpredictable realities of life. When the three friends paddle away on a wilderness adventure that takes them deep into the North Woods, they encounter a host of unexpected surprises, peculiar strangers, and challenging obstacles that test their physical and emotional limits. As they explore the beautiful lakes and forbidding forests, they share intense joys, simple pleasures, and unforgettable experiences that teach them about true friendship, young love, honesty, perseverance, and sacrifice. Their willingness to talk openly about the deeper things in life is the key to their friendship, and it eventually draws out the best qualities in each of them. As they learn how to survive in the great outdoors, they find the time to share honest conversations about personal struggles, questions of faith, new-found freedom, individual identity, and unexplainable loss. Delicately wrapped up in the mysteries of the stars and constellations high above, their story overflows with warm characters from the North Woods, earthy humor that will tickle your funny-bone, and honest dialogue that will make you think about the more important things in life. Northern Lights will capture you in its brilliant starry web, embrace you for a time, and then release you to freely dream of the endless possibilities in your own life and the lives of those around you.
