My Heart's Trail Janel Vandyke

The author and her three boys, ages 8, 7, and 4, took off in the summer of 2015 to conquer as much of the Northern Michigan Portion's of the North Country Trail as they could. It started out as a trip that would be filled with daring adventures and surprises at each turn. It ended up being a journey full of connections, personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. Grief has a way of sneaking up on a person and changing the way you view everything. A coming home for the author and a living example for her children, that taking chances on one's dreams is a great risk, but one that is always worth taking. This story is sure to inspire you to hit the trail, follow your dreams, believe in yourself, and never underestimate what a child can do.
