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.

A great story, beautifully read.
I am so inspired to walk the wilderness. I felt connected to Sheryl often during the telling of this story. A cleverly told tale of life, love, relationships, all with the powerful trail narrative to hold it together.

What an empowering book. Had me thinking about my life and my journey. Made me smile, cry and cringe. Wanted it to keep on going. And I just loved the narrator.

The story I needed to hear
A beautifully written story of getting lost in the world to finally find yourself.

An honest journey
I enjoyed the light read and feel I was hiking with her. When I read the cover it said 'motivational ' well I suppose it is lol I feel now that if see can do that I can at least lose 5 kilo!
My only critique is that it didn't really have any great highs or lows just matter Of fact writing style. Some poetic license , adding a snake bite, ect might have made it a little more intriguing . Overall a pleasant read... I'll go see the movie now👍
