Getting out

"When Hannah Blues joins the Adventurer's Club, she pictures campfires and star-filled nights. And she imagines a temporary respite from the pressures crowding her everyday life: the omnipresent shadow of her parents' divorce; her older brother and younger sister's seeming inability to cope in the real world without her vigilance; and most of all, the irresistable pull of her father, whose unpredictable moods and imaginary health scares have always placed him at the center of the family universe. It's also a chance to spend more time away from her boyfriend, Ben, who, it seems, is ready for a serious commitment - and maybe even to start a family of his own.". "When her father's latest illness turns out to be real, Hannah finds herself growing addicted to the escape she discovers in the silty caves deep beneath the sunlit woods, on the crevasses accessible only with crampons and ice axes. It's as if she feels more herself when she's outside - until she realizes that the people she keeps leaving may not always wait for her to come back."--BOOK JACKET.
