Excerpt
It was the end of August, 2006. I know that's not the Ides of March on the foreboding scale, but maybe it should have been. Who knew that within the next couple of days four-year old Melanie Jacobs would wander away and get lost in the wilderness, my fifteen-year-old sister, Kay, would fall in love with an eighteen-year-old thru-hiker, my dad would fall for a psychic, and I would nearly be killed? I mean, come on! Who would believe it? Still, the story needs to be told and since I was apparently the one at fault (because I was supposed to be babysitting Melanie at the time) I guess I'm the best one to begin it.

Some areas are famous for all the wrong reasons. "Trail Magic: Lost in Crawford Notch" tells the story of young Angie and her mishap with four year old Melanie. Sixty five years before, another child was lost in the Appalachian trail, and not Angie is faced with a repeat of that same tragic event several decades later.
