Are you looking for a great read? I highly [HIGHLY] recommend Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It is a memoir documenting one woman’s journey on the Pacific Crest Trail. Her writing pulled me instantly. I honestly could not put it down. She was truthful, honest and raw. There were many things that astound me about this woman’s story. Cheryl Strayed had absolutely no hiking experience. She shares, “I had never gone backpacking. Not one night.” Yet, somehow, she had the courage or enough blissful ignorance to set off on a trek that would lasts months. She encountered the kindness of strangers over and over along the way. It was inspiring to read that there is, indeed, good in the world. Though she had numerous set backs, she persevered. Truly, this book is for everyone. It isn’t a book about the outdoors or hiking. It is a book about the human spirit.
If this woman, who had absolutely no idea what she was doing and was able to hike from the Mojave Desert to the Columbia River, what can I do?
