A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of aneleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reelingfrom catastrophe?and built her back up again. ? At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had losteverything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scatteredand her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, withnothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of herlife: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desertthrough California and Oregon to Washington State?and to do italone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and thetrail was little more than "an idea, vague and outlandish and fullof promise." But it was a promise of piecing back together a lifethat had come undone. ? Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heatand record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness of thetrail. Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmthand humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one youngwoman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened,strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
