Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe—and built her back up again.
A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century
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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After her mother’s death sent her on a downward spiral, Cheryl Strayed left behind her failed marriage and her increasingly self-destructive existence to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, which traverses the United States from south to north. Strayed’s dazzling memoir of her life-changing adventures topped the New York Times bestsellers list and attracted Hollywood’s attention. (Reese Witherspoon was cast as the writer on-screen, with a screenplay by Nick Hornby.) A searingly honest portrait of loss, courage, and renewal, Wild is the kind of book that inspires you to take risks and live life with more passion and gratitude.
