As a wilderness traveler, she was accustomed to adapting to ever-changing situations, but as her father's health declined, the idea of finding stability seemed impossible. Only one thing was sure: her father was losing perspective--losing track of time, the slippers at his feet, and his ability to find his way home. Lisa wasn't sure she had the skills, experience, or patience to competently travel this path with him, but taking one step at a time, she found it was as simple--and as profound--as life in the wilderness: Be prepared, be present. Trust the process, stay close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWithout a Map\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together Lisa's experience of caregiving with lessons gleaned from decades of wilderness travel, rural living, and parenting.
