In no time, I was soaked and so scared I was shaking. I couldn't believe I was in the middle of the thunder cloud. It grew very dark, almost like nighttime. Clouds swirled all around me with high winds. I hugged the boulder to keep the winds from blowing me off the mountain. My heart pounded as though it were going to burst.
Lightning continued to flash. Loose rocks rolled by me, and little streams of rushing water threatened to cause a minor landslide. I prayed the boulder I was hugging would stay put.
It's 1968 and twenty-year-old Wayne is looking for a little summer romance and some real adventure before he buckles down for a hard school year in the fall. And when he gets a summer job at gorgeous Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, he can hardly believe his luck. There are stunning mountains to climb, pretty girls in abundance, and loads of fun things to do with all the other young people working there.
Along with scaling some of Maligne Lake's impressive peaks, an ambitious activity that on one foolhardy excursion almost costs him his life, Wayne's got big things he wants to do before he settles down. He has no intention at all of getting seriously involved with any girl. But man plans and God laughs, as the saying goes, and when Wayne gets romantically entangled with lovely, spirited, sweet Eileen, his personal agenda begins to go seriously astray.
Set in a more innocent time, amidst stunning vistas, sixties pop music, and twenty-something angst, That Summer in Jasper Park teaches us that once true love comes into the picture our best-laid plans can go completely awry.
