Cheryl Strayed’s Wild documents the adventure of a troubled girl transitioning into womanhood. Though the physical hiking began in California, at the start of the Pacific Crest Trail, the true journey started half a decade before the author made the decision to hike, when her mother died. As she braves the oppressive heat of the California desert, and the punishing rains of the Oregon forests, she finds a strength within herself that she never knew existed. By the end of her three-month-long journey, instead of harping on her past failures she discovers a new respect for living in the present and looking forward.
