Non-Fiction Memoir
A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an
eleven-hundred-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 “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of
promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a
life that had come undone. Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense
heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and
loneliness of the trail. Told with great suspense and style,
sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the
terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead
against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened,
and ultimately healed her.
