On Heights & Hunger

On Heights & Hunger is the story of two professional and competitive tree-climbing brothers, both hungry for transcendence and adventure, coming to terms with their relationship to the divine, the family that first provided a framework for faith, and their own obsessions, victories, and failures. The tree climbing is thrilling, and the brotherly bond is deeply endearing without a trace of saccharine. MacIvor-Andersen's spirituality is rooted in the tree trade's rough lifestyle, the suffering he witnesses around the world, and his parents' post-hippie evangelical roots. A remarkable debut.
