BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: Join me for an evening of food, friendship, and fun as we discuss our thoughts and feelings on the assigned book, Found: A Life in Mountain Rescue by Bree Loewen. We will meet at The Rock at Quarry Town, 4018 S. Lone Pine Ave, for dinner. Feel free to join us even if you didn’t read or finish the book!

About the Book:

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.
