Just started reading the newest book published by Alfred A. Knopf publishers (Vintage):
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed (March 26th, 2013) Hailed as the best non-fiction book of 2012 by The Boston Globe and Book of the Year by NPR, St. Louis Dispatch and Vogue, at twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her (a brief introduction to Strayed's book provided by Amazon).
