About the book
Cheryl Strayed recounts her 1.770-kilometer journey on foot along the Pacific Crest Trail, a wilderness trail that crosses California, Oregon, and Washington, following the death of her mother, the end of her marriage, and the collapse of her life. The book is a visceral meditation on grief, resilience, and personal transformation.
With vulnerability and clarity, Strayed documents both the extreme physical challenges and the emotional and spiritual epiphany of walking alone through the wilderness. It is an inspiring testament to survival, self-knowledge, and the healing that comes from perseverance.
