| Summary |
A powerful, blazingly honest, inspiring memoir: the story of a 1,100 mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe--and built her back up again. At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State?and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than (3zsan idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.(3y sBut it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone. |
