*****SPOILERS****I did not expect this to be so much about her mother's death from cancer. My dad died a few years ago from cancer so these parts of the book are really hard for me. I'm still dealing with my lose so I could relate to all of her emotions regarding her mom's death and her family falling apart.
I'll add more after I am done.


I'm also now listening to her book, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
One additional note. (this is not about the book as much as about my own thoughts, experiences, and biases). She mentions near the end of the book that she wondered about how well she was treated on the trail; how nothing bad happened to her, and that she received so much trail magic. I do wonder too; if she had been older, and not so pretty and blonde, how different the experience might have been.

What other book have your read about the Pacific Coast Trail?
