The farther north Jackie McKool travels on the Appalachian Trail, the more demanding—and unexpected—the journey becomes.

Continuing her eleven-year adventure through relentless rain, dense fog, endless rocks, and mountains that test both body and spirit, Jackie discovers that courage is still found one faithful step at a time. But as the miles accumulate, she begins to realize that some of the greatest challenges—and lessons—are not found on the trail itself.

Along the way, friendships deepen, unexpected connections are formed, and moments of beauty appear in the midst of hardship. Through each experience, Jackie is reminded that faith doesn’t remove the uncertainty of the journey—it strengthens her courage to keep moving through it.

More than a continuation of an Appalachian Trail adventure, Through Rain, Fog and Rocks is written with warmth, honesty, humor, hope, and deep curiosity, inviting readers into both the challenges and joys of the journey.

Whether you’re an Appalachian Trail enthusiast, a reader drawn to true stories of faith and perseverance, or someone navigating uncertainty in your own journey, you’ll be reminded that you don’t have to see the entire path ahead to take the next step.

Because sometimes God’s greatest work begins with the next unexpected step.

What happens when an ordinary woman says "yes" to an extraordinary journey?

When Jackie McKool first stepped onto the Appalachian Trail, she thought she was simply pursuing a dream of hiking from Georgia to Maine. Instead, she embarked on an eleven-year journey that would challenge her physically, stretch her emotionally, deepen her faith, and forever change the way she viewed fear, courage, and God’s faithfulness.

Told with warmth, honesty, humor, hope and deep curiosity, Book One of the Facing Fear Through Faith Trilogy is more than the story of hiking one of America’s most iconic trails. It is the story of learning to trust God through every season of life, finding hope in unexpected places, and discovering that courage is not the absence of fear—it is learning to trust the One who walks beside us.

Through breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable people, fascinating history, heartbreaking loss, and quiet moments with God, Jackie discovers that the greatest transformations often happen one faithful step at a time.
