At twenty-six, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's devastating death and her family scattered, her own marriage was soon destroyed. With nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest trail from the Mohave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State-- and to do it alone. Gorgeously told, sparkling with warmth and humour, "Wild" is the vivid story of a young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened and ultimately healed her.
