Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
Cheryl Strayed
An alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here. 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. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State — and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

Just as great as I hoped it would be. Lives up to the hype!
0Interesting read. Not something I would normally pick myself, but it wasnt too preachy to be annoying, or too factual to be boring. I started enjoying it about halfway thru after all of the dragging out ended about her life leading up to the hike. If it were not a book club read, I would of chalked it up to a whinny and depressing memior, and put it down after the first 100 pages. I'm not fond of the authors character, but it felt like a real memior without the gloss that most have about them; how typically the authors life did a 180, and they became perfect. One of the things I liked was that after the PCT she was recovered in some aspects, still humanly flawed in others, but was at least not the whinny and complete self-destructive mess she was innthe beggining.
