I absolutely loved this book. It was powerful and moving and made me think a lot. It’s not about hiking, not really, so if you are looking for a book about how to through hike, this isn’t it. This is about grief and and identity and picking up your broken pieces. Cheryl Strayed does an incredible job of opening up her audience to her mind and emotions. As a woman in my early twenties, this really spoke to me as I was (in my much less intense way) discovering how to come into my own.
