A suspenseful and engrossing read

I read this book years ago, and it has stood out in my mind. This is a gripping story about a young woman fleeing from a killer on a lonely mountain trail. Gail is trying to escape from the pressures of her family while on vacation, and she finally gets a chance to slip away to hike by herself. Somewhere on that remote trail, she meets Lew. His face is familiar, and she realizes that she'd seen him at the bank in town... Gail is drawn to him and dosen't know that she will end up fleeing to save her own life. Gail learns alot on this day-- about survival, and, oddly, about forgiveness. I will never forget this story of a young woman's courage and compassion.
