As I was reading this book， I found myself holding my breath quite a few times， hoping that she was going to be all right。 She made me nervous because at times I didn't think she was prepared for what she was going to be facing。 I have read many books written about hiking the Appalachian Trail， but it was always about the preparation it takes and everything preplanned and set into place before the hike began and then the hike。 Gail Muller writes her story with such depth and truth that as I read As I was reading this book， I found myself holding my breath quite a few times， hoping that she was going to be all right。 She made me nervous because at times I didn't think she was prepared for what she was going to be facing。 I have read many books written about hiking the Appalachian Trail， but it was always about the preparation it takes and everything preplanned and set into place before the hike began and then the hike。 Gail Muller writes her story with such depth and truth that as I read it， it was playing in my head too。 Living in Maine， I know the places she tells about and the 100-mile wilderness。 It was a surprise that she started her journey in Maine and went to Georgia。 I have always read and heard about the connections that happen while they are walking the AT， and that comes through in her story。 I read the book because the cover had a journey of self discovery and the healing powers of the wild outdoors。 When she reached her lowest point， and I knew it was something she so wanted to do， I so hoped she would be able to find the strength to finish this journey。 I won't tell you anymore， but I will tell you while reading this particular book， I felt like there was the spirit of all those that went before her that somehow was there now for those that needed it。 Gail put everything she went through in this book with such depth that I felt like I was right there with her and there were a few times something was going to happen it seemed to be happening in slow motion it was so intense。 It should be made into a movie because a movie of it was playing in my head as I was reading it。Thank you， Thread Books， for an ARC。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I live vicariously through hikers who write about their long distance treks on trails like the AT， PCT， and CDT。 This one especially caught my attention since the author is a sufferer of an invisible illness， as I also have an invisible illness plus I am visually impaired。The courage it takes to take on a hike like these is inspiring， especially when they're doing this hike solo and depend on meetin Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I live vicariously through hikers who write about their long distance treks on trails like the AT， PCT， and CDT。 This one especially caught my attention since the author is a sufferer of an invisible illness， as I also have an invisible illness plus I am visually impaired。The courage it takes to take on a hike like these is inspiring， especially when they're doing this hike solo and depend on meeting and falling into various trail families。 This book offers real life experience with dealing with every day chronic pain and then having other injuries along the way。 The tough decision to keep pressing on or to take a zero day， or even harder decision， to go off trail， back to civilization and heal， are very real scenarios。 The friends and fellow hikers she meets along the way provide a lot of needed support to make these decisions and overcome disappointment。 。。。more
