Maggie Bishop has just graduated high school, the future hers to embrace, but she’s still reeling from the death of her older brother, Chip. A devastating diagnosis the summer before prompted Chip to leave home for a few months, never revealing where he went. Maggie’s search for clues leads her to The Red Maple Inn, a mountaintop resort in the Poconos. At the Red Maple, Maggie is welcomed into a tight-knit community. As she unravels secrets about her brother’s final days, she begins to connect with the people he loved, and whose lives he touched. Through the warmth of these strangers, Maggie begins to heal and is able to help others cope with loss. The Top of the World is a timeless story about memory, grief, second chances, and hope. Praise for The Top of the World "I loved following the moving story of Maggie and Chip, two characters I won't be forgetting anytime soon.

The Top of the World is Ethan Joella at the top of his game." —J. Ryan Stradal, author of Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club “The Top of the World is a deeply moving novel of loss and legacy. Set in the picturesque landscape of a Poconos resort, Ethan Joella gives us a heartfelt story about what it truly means to live life to the fullest, the healing connection of found family, and the power of being remembered.” —Allison Larkin, author of The People We Keep and Home of the American Circus
