Lost Borders: A Vision Fast Handbook for Youth Coming of Age in the Wilderness

Steven Foster and Meredith Little

Companion to the documentary film, the youth handbook is required reading for any young person planning to or thinking about participating in this traditional coming of age ceremony in the wilderness. Pulls no punches, challenging youth with the privileges and responsibilities of “true adulthood.” Clear, insightful, compelling, gentle, and uncompromising, with inspired and helpful drawings by Win Bock and Jennifer Massey, the handbook should be in every high school library. Appendix includes remarks to parents, fasting precautions, notes on the idea of “failure,” a bibliography, and a time-tested Field Emergency Checklist.

“Your book is excellent. I think our children would do well to learn from it. It has immense power for conscious change.” – Stephen Levine, author
