Wild

Author: Cheryl Strayed

Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” is a raw, unflinching memoir of self-discovery and healing. After her mother’s death and a painful divorce, Strayed impulsively decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail alone. With zero experience and a backpack she can barely lift, she embarks on a grueling journey that pushes her to her limits. Through blistered feet, aching muscles, and moments of sheer terror, Strayed finds unexpected strength and redemption in the wilderness. Her honest, vulnerable prose captures the transformative power of nature and the human spirit.
