Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found by Cheryl Strayed

Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found by Cheryl Strayed

This was an incredible read…I cannot express how much I enjoyed reading this book.  I felt her pain, her fear, her distress…I willed her on through the hard times and felt pride at her accomplishments…totally inspiring.

After the loss of her mother, Cheryl’s life seems to fall apart.  Her family network disintegrates, her marriage fails and, four years later, she is still struggling to come to terms with her mother’s death.

With no training, experience or skill, Cheryl makes a decision that will change the course of her life and bring her face-to-face with her biggest obstacle:  herself!  She decides to embark on a lone hike on the Pacific Crest Trail that will see her walking over 1,000 miles from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State.  Through this journey, Cheryl discovers a strength and a resilience she didn’t know she had…a journey of personal discovery and victory that I wish we could all take to realise how strong we really are!

I give this book FIVE COFFEE CUPS ☕☕☕☕☕ and would definitely read this book again…and again…and again!
