About this listen
From Aspen Matis, author of the acclaimed true story Girl in the Woods, comes a bold and atmospheric memoir of a woman who - in searching for her vanished husband - discovers deeper purpose.
Aspen’s and Justin’s paths serendipitously aligned on the Pacific Crest Trail when both were walking from Mexico to Canada, separately and alone - both using thru-hiking in hopes of escaping their pasts. Both sought to redefine themselves beneath the stars. By the time they made it to the snowy Cascade Range of British Columbia - the trail’s end - Aspen and Justin were in love.
Embarking on a new pilgrimage the next summer, they returned to those same mossy mountains where they’d met, and they married. They built a world together, three years of a happy marriage. Until a cold November morning, when, after kissing Aspen goodbye, Justin left to attend the funeral of a close friend.
He never came back. As days became weeks, her husband’s inexplicable absence left Aspen unmoored. Shock, grief, fear, and anger battled for control - but nothing prepared her for the disarming truth. A revelation that would lead Aspen to reassess not only her own life but that of the disappeared as well.
The result is a brave and inspiring memoir of secrets kept and unearthed, of a vanishing that became a gift: a woman’s empowering reclamation of unmitigated purpose in the surreal wake of mystifying loss.

Too long
I loved the last third of the book where it picked up pace. It could have done with a really big edit but lyrical and lovely none the less. perhaps overly wordy in parts. The story is powerful and a lot more could have been more political with the ascension of the, #metoo movement.

Memoirs of a 20-something princess, but entertaining nonetheless
The author doesn’t know the difference between white privilege and her own innate talent, but it was still a good read. It’s a book about a young, affluent, white woman who had everything handed to her on a silver platter and still wasn’t happy, but it’s quite absorbing to listen to her reasons why.

Terrible couldn’t even read till the end.
It was like the author sat with a thesaurus and tried to fit as many big words in one sentence as she could. It made the reading very boring and monotonous.

I loved this book
I thoroughly enjoyed both titles by Aspen Matis. I drew many parallels between her and myself and I think she is amazing to have come out the other side of her ordeals with the courage to tell her story in it’s entirety.
