Description
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed's life had come undone. Her mother's death, her family scattered, and her marriage destroyed. Four years later, she made an impulsive decision: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail alone.
The trail was little more than "an idea" at first, but it offered a promise of piecing back together a life that had fallen apart. Strayed faced numerous challenges on her journey, from intense heat and record snowfalls to encounters with wildlife and the beauty and loneliness of the trail.
This memoir vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds. With great suspense and style, it tells the story of a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
