Review: Can you imagine hiking 1,100 miles by yourself with no training of any sort?  Traveling for months through several different climates, all to find yourself after being lost and going through tragedy?  That's exactly what Cheryl Strayed did.  After her mother passed away, Strayed started distancing herself from all of her loved ones; she divorced her husband and started acting recklessly.  After divorcing her husband, Strayed decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail to find herself again.  Knowing that the odds were not in her favor, she acknowledged her fears, managed to set them aside, and started her journey.

On her adventure, Strayed met several people, learned several lessons, and developed a better understanding of herself.  Showing, that sometimes all you need to do, is step outside of your comfort zone, take in nature, and put one foot in front of the other.  This book is great for anybody needing a reminder that they are in control of their fate and can do anything they put their mind to.

  1. You wrote out a very good summary of the book. It intrigued me, but at the same time, didn’t spoil anything or give too much away. It also looks like you took a very meaningful message away from the story.
