"Against a backdrop of romance and adversity, 'The Highest Mountain' is a novel about mentorship and rites of passage. Bringing together Christian, Buddhist and American Indian spirituality, one man relentlessly questions who he is and what is his purpose. This is a must read for anyone who aspires toward more than mere mediocrity."
