WILD A JOURNEY FROM LOST TO FOUND PB – CHERYL STRAYED

" One of the best books I ve read in the last five or ten years… Wild is angry, brave, sad, self-knowing, redemptive, raw, compelling, and brilliantly written, and I think it s destined to be loved by a lot of people, men and women, for a very long time. Nick Hornby 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."
