Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
The book is called "Wild," but the author is also somewhat wild. She lost her mom when she was in her twenties, and with her mom's death came the breakup of her family and her own marriage. So, partly for healing and partly to do something "wild" the author walks part of the Pacific Crest Trail. However, she had had no training or practice before she embarked on this momentous journey.
Partly the book was interesting because of what she attempted (and achieved) but mainly because I felt a oneness with the author for attempting something out of her comfort zone, also the book kept me reading and wanting more. The story was that of a journey, but with flashbacks to her earlier life, something I don't generally like, but in this case was extremely well done. The writing was so good that on three separate occasions I cried as I read the story.
This book is way up high with my other favorite books of all time. I would recommend it to anyone.
