emotional funny inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.0

An inspirational tale of recovery and growth through challenges and adversity. 

Cheryl takes us on an adventure through nature, making new friends and lasting memories along the way. But this tale isn’t all happy and we get a clear view of Cheryl’s tumultuous mindset as she struggles through her hike on the Pacific Coast Trail. 

Starting the hike due to the loss of her mother to cancer, her own divorce and the start of a drug addiction, Cheryl finds peace and sense of self through the difficulties she overcomes along the journey.

adventurous emotional reflective

4.0

the description of

the death of lady, the horse

was excellently, horribly paced—very memorable. i found myself uninterested in a lot of the descriptions of the trail but strayed’s ruminations on her mother (particularly the fox on the trail and the section where she describes feeling anger at her mother, especially her anger that she died when strayed was young, keeping her trapped a child) will stay with me

5.0

Just an absolutely astounding book that I wholly enjoyed cover to cover. Strayed’s writing is incredibly beautiful, eloquent, and entranced me with visions of her journey and life. Despite the descriptions of how hard the PCT is, her experience has only made me want to hike it more.

Truly a fantastic book, I would recommend this to anyone!
