THURSDAY,
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost
everything. In the wake of her mother’s 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. With no experience or training,
driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the
Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to
Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style,
sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and
pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that
maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her. Reese Witherspoon stars in
the 2014 film adaptation.
