Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail Audiobook (Free)

Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection.

A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the storyplot of the eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke straight down a young female reeling from catastrophe-and built her backup again.

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had shed everything. In the wake of her mother’s loss of life, her family scattered and her very own marriage was soon damaged. Four years later on, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her lifestyle: to hike the Pacific Crest Path from about Crazy: From Shed to On the Pacific Crest Trail the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State-and to accomplish it only. She acquired no experience being a long-distance hiker, as well as the path was little more than “an idea, hazy and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a guarantee of piecing back together a existence that had arrive undone.

Strayed faces straight down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heating and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness from the trail. Told with great suspense and design, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young girl forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
