This is real! The author tells the story of how she deals with life which has socked her in the jaw. The death of her mother and divorce sends her rocking back on her heels. To find her center or simply to understand herself she decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. After all, how hard can it be? She's done some hiking so why not. Why not indeed? As she outfits herself for the trip she takes every bit of equipment recommended by the recreational stores and packs a pack. And, it's heavy! She can hardly lift it but this is only the beginning. One can laugh, sympathize and cheer the stubborn pride of this determined young woman. Cheryl tells her story with incredible honesty. I liked it.
