NEW YORK—July 17, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, Without A Trace: The Life of Sierra Phantom by Danielle Nadler, is the mesmerizing biography of J.P. Glover, a man who abandoned his whole life to live for fifty years in the Sierra Nevada wilderness.
J.P. Glover was orphaned when he was just a toddler. Bouncing around between orphanages and foster homes, and drifting from school to school, he experienced an unstable childhood. After growing up and serving four years in the military, Glover decided to live a life secluded from society, setting up camp in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was then that he was deemed the Sierra Phantom. Without A Trace: The Life of Sierra Phantom provides an up close and personal look into his life as a loner in the wild.
As Nadler garners details of Glover’s life from those who knew him best, and struggles to convince him personally to open up to her, she showcases to other aspiring young journalists the ups and downs of investigation and storytelling. Her journey of learning and telling the Sierra Phantom’s story began with a single interview, and turned to weekly conversations where he eventually revealed the personal tragedies that drove him to a life of seclusion. As his journey plays out, Without A Trace offers a glaring example of the effects of childhood abandonment, and demonstrates the benefits of community and family on an individual.
Without A Trace: The Life of Sierra Phantom transports readers into a life they would have otherwise never known, providing a glimpse into life as a mountaineer. Nadler weaves herself throughout the pages of the story and provides an engaging narrative packed with colorful characters and vivid landscapes. Through it all, readers are touched by Glover’s life, and challenged to explore life outside their comfort zone.
