I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning but once she got on the trail, I couldn't put it down. I'd go from thinking she was an idiot to loving her, then to a little bit of both! I've been through hard times and I can understand how she felt compelled to do the hike. Her writing is beautiful, her descriptions are vivid. The story flows well back and forth from present to past, to give the reader a better understanding of what led to Cheryl taking this journey. It's an emotional read but it left me feeling proud of her, not sorry for her like I thought I might. She's unprepared and beaten up by her journey but remains strong. I highly recommend this book but it's not for the faint at heart, as there are some pretty graphic descriptions.
