About the book
In this memoir, American writer Cheryl Strayed recounts a solo hike of about 1,100 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, which she begins in the Mojave Desert with no hiking experience. Four years after her mother's death from lung cancer at forty-five, which leaves her devastated, her life has come apart: she has left her loving husband and taken up heroin. Seeking self-discovery and relief from lasting grief, she heads onto the trail. The book moves between the walk, with its physical demands and inner realizations, and flashbacks to the earlier events that brought her there.
