Keeper of the Mountains follows fifteen-year-old Chris trials and growth in crossing 800 miles of rivers, muskeg and mountains. Discoveries made on the expedition bring Chris to a personal crossroads, when he makes his own expedition into the sacred twin mountains and dramatically discovers the meaning of being a &quotKeeper&quot. Shirlee Smith Matheson's tale is a rugged and wondrous blending of fact and fiction, rendered into dramatic accuracy.
