Found: A Life in Mountain Rescue

Summary

Mountain search-and-rescue volunteer Bree Loewen's to-do list isn't quite the same as most people's. On any given day, it might include:

&#9679 Go grocery shopping

&#9679 Bake pie seen on Pinterest

&#9679 Figure out what to do with my life

&#9679 Rescue climbers caught in avalanche on Chair Peak

&#9679 Pick up Vivi at Mom's

A former Mount Rainier climbing ranger and trained leader in mountain search-and-rescue, Bree shares the drama and the camaraderie of this work, as well as the challenges of trying to fit her other roles as wife and mother into what is still largely a masculine environment. In a fearless voice—disarming yet laced with dark humor—Bree guides us through intense recoveries, vivid wilderness landscapes, and the warmth she discovers in motherhood, community, and purpose.
