Jo has always felt connected to the Appalachian mountains. It’s why she became a park ranger. And it’s why, when an unavoidable asteroid is headed for Earth, she decided to spend her final hours hiking to her favorite place; the top of Mount Mitchell. She just doesn’t realize Mitchell wants to mount her in return. Mitchell spent eons on earth, until Jo set foot on him. Then his consciousness finally burst forth. Every moment spent together seems to bring him closer to life, feelings, and to her. She is all that he can think about, and he’d love to show her every hard inch of himself. Will Jo and Mitchell be able to reach their peaks before the asteroid hits? Or will the world end before they get their happy endings?
