Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail Book by Cheryl Strayed

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail is a raw, deeply personal 2012 memoir that chronicles Cheryl Strayed’s impulsive decision to hike 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail alone with zero backpacking experience. Driven by profound grief following the sudden death of her mother and the subsequent collapse of her marriage, she braved intense physical hardships, treacherous terrain, and dangerous wildlife. Ultimately, the grueling journey served as a powerful vehicle for emotional healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming her life from destructive behaviors.
