Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

This ISBN has an alternative cover available here.

Cheryl Strayed believed she had lost everything when she was twenty-two. Her family dispersed when her mother passed away, and her marriage quickly fell apart. After four years, when she had nothing left to lose, she made the most rash choice of her life. She would travel more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail on her own, without any prior experience or preparation, from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State.

A story of suspense and flair, shining with warmth and humor, Wild vividly depicts the joys and terrors of a young woman who, in defiance of all odds, set out on a trip that eventually strengthened, healed, and maddened her.
