Read and Reflect: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
At twenty-two, author Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mothers 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, to undertake a hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
