Wow, this book. I honestly avoided it for a long time, because I knew the story would make me sad, but I was on a trip and it was one of the only things available. As someone who has always felt more connected in nature than anywhere else, following Cheryl on her journey as a woman hiking the trail was incredible. Her story is an inspiration to anyone struggling with grief or addiction, showing how you can overcome and persevere even when you feel you are at your lowest.

orchidd's review

adventurous emotional reflective

4.0

the description of

the death of lady, the horse

was excellently, horribly paced—very memorable. i found myself uninterested in a lot of the descriptions of the trail but strayed’s ruminations on her mother (particularly the fox on the trail and the section where she describes feeling anger at her mother, especially her anger that she died when strayed was young, keeping her trapped a child) will stay with me

ominousevent's review against another edition

I enjoyed Strayed's Dear Sugar columns, back in the day when she was Sugar, and this book had been vaguely on my radar for a long time. I'm not sure how much I enjoyed it, in the end; I appreciate the emotional journey she shares, and likewise her experiences of hiking and the environments she travelled through, but ultimately it all felt a bit empty and unsatisfying. Maybe partly due to the narration, maybe a failure on my part to connect with the-author-as-character. I can't really put my finger on it at all.
