Misplaced

“As a backpacker, reading Misplaced while out on the trail gave me much time to contemplate the nuances of each character. Being given insight that may reflect your own self is a powerful thing. Especially while out in the woods. The prod to adjust your own self is always a right good thing.”
— Sean “Shug” Emery, backpacker and YouTuber

“I love books, stories, words. I love it when creative minds transform words into stories that reveal valuable information. Especially when that material allows readers to find themselves in a book. Eric Foster-Whiddon succeeds in that progression in Misplaced. His fictional narrative is a nonfiction course on learning lessons through life. And it is good. Take time to open the book, enter the story, and follow every word. You might see yourself in a better place, even when feeling misplaced.”
—Chris Maxwell, Director of Spiritual Life, Emmanuel College

“This is a fun book! Eric—trail name ‘Misplaced’—takes us on an adventure with five of his friends. While many of the hiking and backpacking books currently available cover long-distance hikes, . . . this story was refreshing in that it showed that an engaging, entertaining story could be told about a long-weekend backpacking trip, a trip length that more of us can relate to. Throughout the adventure life lessons were interwoven, forcing me to reflect upon my own adventures, both on the trail and in my life. While not a man of faith myself, I was able to relate to many of the references and correlations that Misplaced made along the way. This is an easy book to read and relate to!”
