When Marge and Norman, two hikers who have never met, converge at a trailhead, they are surprised to find two packets next to the trail map at the wood kiosk-and each has their respective names written on them. How'd they get there? And who placed them there? Marge notices that the trailhead name has been changed, and although she's hiked the trail many times, she's never seen the sign that says, You need to know who you are before you know where you're going. Marge is slim, strong, and principled. Norman is overweight and self-centered. Together they must complete the exercises contained in each packet-exercises designed to answer three questions: What are your values? What is your mission? What is your vision? The two hikers follow their instructions, guided by the trail markers, to a boat dock on Blue Gem Lake, where two chairs just happen to be awaiting them. And a surprise ending follows to cap off this mysterious and intriguing adventure!
