Wild by Cheryl Strayed
4.0

I was actually pleasantly surprised. Saw it at Half Price for $3 and thought "why not?" I thought the writing was fantastic, and I felt like I was healing alongside the author as she moved past the grief of losing her mother. "Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a difference story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave." These words and so many others truly resonated with me as a young woman, and especially as a young woman who feels most at home among nature. Highly recommend.
