*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
TRIAL OF THE LOST follows the years-long search for three hikers lost on the Pacific Crest Trail. Lankford, highly experienced as both a nurse and a National Park Ranger, describes the ins and out of Seek and Rescue missions; including both the hope and the devastating heartbreak that comes with each lost person.
Lankford describes harrowing, and ultimately heartbreaking, attempts to locate the young men alongside the families and strangers. This book was engaging and educational, not only on the ins-and-outs of what it can take to find a lost person, but also hiking and the culture of the PCT. While the ending didn't provide the full closure I was naively anticipating, Lankford was honest and ended the TRAIL OF THE LOST on as hopeful a note as possible.
