In the wake of her mother&#8217;s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State-and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than &#8220;an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise&#8221;. But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone. Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness of the trail.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, <a href=\"http:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/searchresults.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.1&amp;type=Keyword&amp;term=wild%20from%20lost%20to%20found&amp;by=KW&amp;sort=RELEVANCE&amp;limit=TOM=*&amp;query=&amp;page=0#__pos1\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>Wild<\/strong><\/em><\/a> vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her. <em>(description from publisher)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild: Lost and Found on the Pacific Crest Trail is a powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again. \u00a0At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything.
