Reading on the Ave Book Club: Wild

All are welcome to attend the Reading on the Avenue Book Club, which meets in the Community Room of Willow Glen Library. On Wednesday, June 26, we'll be discussing Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed.

The story of an 1,100 mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe and built her back up again, this has been called a powerful, blazingly honest memoir.

At the age of 26, Strayed 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 an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise. But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.
