Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
by Cheryl Strayed
Cheryl Strayed's Wild is a memoir of grief and a thousand-mile solo hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, written by someone with no business attempting it and every reason to try. It braids a present-tense trek from the Mojave to Washington against flashbacks to the loss that wrecked her, so the walking and the mourning illuminate each other.
