Un libro poderoso e incendiariamente honesto: la historia de los 1800 kilometros que la joven autora anduvo en su recorrido a pie por la cordillera del Pacifico de los Estados Unidos. Con veintidos anos creia que lo habia perdido todo en la vida, tras tomar la decision de separarse y de que su madre muriera de cancer. Sus hermanos se dispersaron y ella se quedo sin pilares sobre los que construir su vida. Cuatro anos despues de la muerte de su madre toma la decision mas impulsiva de su vida: recorrer el camino del las Cumbres del Pacifico, una ruta de senderismo que recorre toda la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos, desde el desierto Mojave en California y Oregon al estado de Washington. Y decide hacerlo completamente sola. Sin ninguna experiencia en senderismo, y ni tan solo habiendo pasado jamas una noche al aire libre, para ella se trataba de una idea, vaga y extravagante y prometedora. Pero esa promesa se convirtio en la necesidad de volver a juntar las piezas del rompecabezas en que se habia convertido su vida. Narrada con suspense, estilo, sentido del humor y ternura, este libro consigue atrapar el miedo y los placeres en la vida de una joven que se encuentra en el proceso de forjar su vida contra toda expectativa, en el viaje que la volvio loca, que la fortalecio, y que acabo por sanarla. / The story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman.
