Review
This book made Oprah's Book Club selection. This memoir
is the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that nearly
destroyed a young woman called Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl was
getting over her mother's death. Her family disbanded and
her marriage fell apart. With nothing more to lose she
decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave
Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State.
She also decided to do it alone. She had no experience as a
long-distance hiker. Cheryl encountered rattlesnakes, black
bears, intense heat and snowfalls. Will she make it against
all odds?
