I didn't know what to expect from this book. I really enjoyed reading it. I think my favourite part about this is that the author owned all of her choices and decisions. She didn't play the blame game and really seems to have taken responsibility for her actions. Even when they were not nice actions. She seemed to have the kind of self awareness and insight that is usually missing from memoirs. Very interesting to read about her journey. I am curious what the PCT is like now, 20 years later. It sounds like when she hiked it the trail was in its infancy, I bet that now it is a lot busier, especially after this book and the movie that was just released.
