Wild
A Journey from Lost to Found
Cheryl Strayed New Paperback
Postscript summary
As she impulsively sets off on a cathartic three-month solo hike along America’s Pacific Crest Trail in 1995, Cheryl Strayed reflects that ‘nothing bad could happen to me... the worst thing already had.’ In a fiercely funny, visceral tale of redemption, she confronts treacherous weather, debilitating blisters and lost boots with dogged determination, finding solace in encounters with wildlife, stunning sunsets and the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Product information
Full publisher description
At twenty-six, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's rapid death from cancer, her family disbanded and her marriage crumbled. With nothing to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to walk eleven-hundred miles of the west coast of America - from the Mojave Desert, through California and Oregon, and into Washington state - and to do it alone. She had no experience of long-distance hiking and the journey was nothing more than a line on a map. But it held a promise - a promise of piecing together a life that lay in ruins at her feet.
Strayed's account captures the agonies - both mental and physical - of her incredible journey; how it maddened and terrified her, and how, ultimately, it healed her. Wild is a brutal memoir of survival, grief and redemption: a searing portrayal of life at its lowest ebb and at its highest tide.
