Marcia is seventeen, and along with Darryl, has moved south in Alaska to attend the Anchorage campus of the Alaska State University. She wants to pursue her dream, but will it pursue her instead?
As is always the case, I'd like to thank Malady for his help checking through this story for the many errors I frequently insert, as well as listening to my sometimes completely crazy ideas about the direction of the story and telling me how crazy they are!

Marcia looked at the scenery
around her
brother’s truck as he turned
into the driveway of the farm house. Directly to the south of the
farm was the Matanuska River, a river they had followed almost since
they passed the glacier that fed it, seventy or so miles to the
northeast.
She could see a mountain
beyond it, the river that seemed to be all by itself. Looking at the
map she had been tracking
their progress on, it said the mountain was called Pioneer Peak.
Like the river, it was
rather majestic, standing almost all alone.
