Fear of Heights Anne P Holloway

When we first meet Payson Wright she is standing frozen with fear on a clear platform jutting out over the Grand Canyon almost a mile in the air. Fear of Heights is the story of Payson, a 43 year old woman whose adventurous trip across the country turns into a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Payson is tasked with driving her sister's 130 pound dog, Yeti, from her home in Washington, DC to Los Angeles, CA where her sister has relocated. The trip will take only ten days but what Payson finds along the way will change her life forever. Although pit stops include a visit to the wacky Corn Palace in South Dakota and a memorable night in Mount Rushmore, not all Payson's detours are of the travel variety. A brief stay in the Badlands of South Dakota proves that sometimes the most forbidding and desolate places on the planet can yield the biggest rewards.
