This harrowing tale of survival on one of Central America's tallest peaks is not written by a hard core mountain climber. Robert Hopkins was just an English teacher when he decided to make what he thought would be a relatively easy trip up to the top of the volcano Tacaná, the second highest peak in Central America. Instead, he found himself stuck on the mountain for two nights after getting lost and having his belongings mysteriously stolen. Famished and disoriented, Robert tries to find his way down the volcano only to realize that if he comes down on the wrong side, he will end up in a different country. His desperate search for water and two lonely nights spent on the mountain push him to the limits of his endurance. Robert Hopkins tells his tale in a straightforward manner while interweaving themes of generosity, treachery, despair, faith and hope into an unforgettable story that will encourage readers to trust God and to never give up.
