In a remote kingdom hidden in the Himalayas, there is a trail said to be the toughest trek in the world—24 days, 216 miles, 11 mountain passes, and enough ghost stories to scare an exorcist.
Beneth Blossom Rain: Discovering Bhutan on the Toughest Trek in the World is Kevin Grange’s account of his journey across the country of Bhutan by taking on this infamous trail, the Snowman Trek.
Seattle University Magazine’s Maura Beth Pagano called it “a treat for any adventurer.” She also said that “not only does the author let readers catch a glimpse into his time on the toughest trek in the world, he inspires them to set out on their own fearless explorations.”
Grange recently created a soundtrack for his memoir on the blog, Largehearted Boy. The blog’s Book Notes series lets authors create a playlist for their book and explain why each song contributes to their story. Grange said, “To write without music is the literary equivalent of trying to paddle a boat onshore.”
