Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Aspen Matis's exhilarating true-life adventure recounts her transformative hike from Mexico to Canada, blending a coming-of-age narrative with a story of survival and emotional resilience. After being raped by a fellow student on her second night of college, Aspen faced confusion and shame, compounded by her parents' overprotectiveness and the inadequacy of her college's conflict mediation process. Desperate for healing, she made a bold choice to embark on the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. Over five months, she navigated dangerous terrain, encountered wildlife, and met fellow travelers, all while confronting her trauma. Each grueling thirty-mile day pushed her to the brink of exhaustion and forced her to grapple with her numbness, ultimately confronting the impact of the assault and her parents' response. Alone in the wilderness, Aspen discovered the importance of self-reliance and unearthed her inner strength. After a thousand miles of solitude, she found companionship with a man who helped her learn to love and trust again. This memoir, rich with elegance and suspense, reveals the profound truths that emerge when one pushes beyond emotional and physical boundaries.
