Spider Gap

By: Kristen Joy Wilks

Narrated by: Sarah Carbonaro

Lilly, a first-year school teacher, is roped into chaperoning a backpacking trip over the Spider Gap glacier. Unfortunately, she cannot find a sitter for her purse-dog and must smuggle him along on the trip.

All her friskiest sixth grade students are participating, as well as a handsome ski instructor who resists her efforts to organize their trip in a mathematically pleasing manner.

Can Lilly evoke a thirst for learning within her skeptical students, when she herself can barely survive the rigors of the trail?

Love the book!

Fun story, great narration. Great principles taught ~ abstinence, trusting God, praying about daily life stuff.

Beautiful Message

Sweet and also very funny. I actually found myself laughing so many times at this story picturing the main character in the quirky situations.

Through it all, the heartfelt message that the author shared shines through.

Life is not meant to go one way or the other. It’s not meant to be black or white. It will always confuse us and take us by surprise. It will always ambush us with situations we were not prepared for.

Sometimes trusting in God doesn’t mean you get to shape the path of your life or change what happens around you. Sometimes leaning on something far greater than your own human hands means loosening your grip on those reins.

And in it, you find everything you've dreamed of.

The narrator captures the story beautifully.
