At twenty-six, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost
everything. In the wake of her mother's rapid death from cancer, her family
disbanded and her marriage crumbled. With nothing to lose, she made the most
impulsive decision of her life: to walk the Pacific Crest trail -
eleven-hundred miles of the west coast of America - from the Mojave Desert,
through California and Oregon, and into Washington state - and to do it alone.
She had no experience of long-distance hiking and the journey was nothing more
than a line on a map. But it held a promise - a promise of piecing together a
life that lay in ruins at her feet. Strayed's account captures the agonies -
both mental and physical - of her incredible journey; how it maddened and
terrified her, and how, ultimately, it healed her.
