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

The memoir of a young woman who at twenty-two felt like she had lost everything. And by impulse four years later, with nothing else to lose, decided to hike more than a thousand miles of the PCT, alone. This story captures her test of character and will, and her path toward healing and rediscovery.

"Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told."

3. There are things we have control over and others that we don't. When it comes to life itself, trust. 

"How wild it was, to let it be."
