The Mourning Hills

After Mattie and Kate's mother died in a tragic accident, their father took his own life in a notorious wilderness called “The Mourning Hills". Known as a place where people pilgrimage to commit suicide, the girls hide out in The Hills after running away together. It is here that they must contend with man, nature, and their own naiveté about the world. It is here, also, that they learn to grieve by growing up too fast.
