Item Description

Sometimes The Longest Trail will lead you where you might not expect to go. After the journey on this trail, you will think you have ridden on horseback to the top of the tallest mountain, looked into the vast expanse of space and touched the stars. You will know you have been to a different place and you will wonder why you aren't saddle-sore and dusty.

The newest book published by The Biscuit Press is The Longest Trail. Don't miss this chance to travel to a far different time and place and be back in time for supper.

The Longest Trail carries us through a spellbinding new work by Willits, CA author Roni McFadden. As a young teen McFadden left behind the confusion and pain of her unhappy preteen years and headed up. Here she tells how she went up - up onto horses, up the road to a man who could help her, and up the mountain, to where she could see clearly and breathe deeply. And then up to another place where only some can go. As she travels The Longest Trail, Roni evolves from a girl stumbling along treacherous and twisted paths to become a strong young woman who knows where she is going, how to get there, and understands she will continue to have help along the way.

Her route took her over The Longest Trail, through life, until she arrived here, now.

Spending all of her teen years in the high Sierras riding horses and managing pack trips on horseback, Roni learned about animals, people and life. In the time since then, Roni has continued on The Longest Trail, adding the wisdom of another 40 years to her perspective as she recreates those years on the pages of The Longest Trail.

As you travel with Roni McFadden in this fascinating book, you will know the joy and fear; the grief and humor; and the beauty and wonder which she experienced in the desert and high country of the Sierras, in Altadena, and all along the way as she journeyed to this time and place by way of The Longest Trail.
