“I fell hard in love with Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, which describes her solitary hike of the Pacific Crest trail when she was 26. What a BRAVE book! I was drawn to it on several levels: first, my own memories of monumentally Stupid Things I Had Done in my 20′s—things that I was lucky to have survived. Second, my love of the wilderness and what it means in my life, how important it is to many of us in centering ourselves emotionally and spiritually. Third, how important ‘the kindness of strangers’ can be in our lives. Fourth, how great the hardships of poverty can be. It is the kind of book that makes you want to call the author up on the phone and say: ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so brave and so honest in this book.’ “– Andy, The Literary Duck, Eugene.
