About this listen

A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an 1100-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again. At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. After her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than an idea: vague, outlandish, and full of promise. But it was a promise of piecing together a life that had come undone. Strayed faces rattlesnakes and bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and intense loneliness of the trail.

Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

Cheryl has been a wonderful hiker. Both emotionally and physically. The journey of getting lost and found was intriguing. It had trauma, love, betrayal, fear, joy and sense of achievement. Life is not about the materialistic things but about the experiences. The experiences which bring you closer to your inner self. Forgiveness was another point which stayed with me. Forgiving and seeking forgiveness had brought peace and clarity in the authors life.

I felt the 'Wild' PCT hike was worth it!

Hitchhiking the PCT!
