About this listen

This is a terrific audiobook. It's interesting, well-written, and timely. It's the story of a textbook editor who retires, reads the popular book The Wild Effect and decides to hike the Appalachian Trail - and have an unexpected adventure!

The tone is wry humor, tongue in cheek - the author has a great sense of humor, is perky, and as she learns in this adventure, is often in over her head! She is a very likeable character.

Don’t bother there are better books out there.

This isn’t so much a memoir as a constant stream of complaining and self doubt. Don’t bother, if your looking for a good AT trail read try David Millier’s AWOL or Gary Sizer’s Where’s the next shelter.
