About this title

Synopsis

Be inspired by how the human spirit prevails over cancer

Crossing Divides is the story of a young couple’s heroic struggle with cancer and their 800-mile hike across Montana’s Continental Divide. The hike provides an opportunity for metaphorical comparisons between perserverance and fighting cancer. Scott and Katie face their challenges--from chemotherapy to grizzly bears--with spirit, resolve, and a unified front. This celebration of the precious, unpredictable nature of human life and wild places illustrates the courage it takes to put one foot in front of the other--without knowing whether peace or danger lies around the next bend.
