A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe—and built her back up again.

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: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

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

It's such an inspiration. I want to hike the pct! I really love the book. The film is good too, but as always the book is better.

Love it

A fascinating tell of finding meaning by following once’s call. It gave me inspiration and courage to plane my big hike alone. Thank you Cheryl for sharing your story and being such a beacon of light

I got swapped into the wild

This book fabulously explains codependency and complex trauma without ever saying those words.

The prose is beautiful and the narration is great. That being said I am confused why Cheryl didn't narrate her own book considering she narrated her A Thousand Beautiful Things.

This book is a masterclass in memoir writing as well as being a very heartbreaking yet wholesome story.

Beautifully written memoir

Die Sprecherin ist echt super, gerade wenn man Englisch nicht fließend kann ist das Buch doch super zu verstehen.
Die Geschichte ist einzigartig und sehr nüchtern, wahr... Aber man hat hier keinen Höhepunkt oder richtige Spannungsmomente. Eine nette Geschichte um sich berieseln zu lassen in ein paar entspannten Stunden mit audible.

Nette Geschichte
