Below is a summation of the members' reactions to this work.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed documents the author's amazing physical, mental, and emotional journey as she hikes the Pacific Coast Trail. After struggling for four years to move forward from her mother's early death from cancer, Cheryl Strayed finds herself in California with no backpacking experience and little preparation for a trek through the desert, mountains, and forests that span the West Coast and contain some of the most beautiful and challenging geography for hiking. Strayed captures this journey that transformed her life, as well as the events that brought her there, in a voice so honest and descriptive that to read the book is to take the journey with her.
The group's discussion focused on the author's revelations about her family and her own life before embarking on her journey and how she managed to survive despite no hiking experience and very poor preparation for a trail that even experienced backpackers consider extremely challenging. Everyone liked the book and would recommend it to others.
