Wild is about Cheryl Strayed's expedition from Southern California to the top of Oregon. She traverses the trail on a quest to deal with the loss of her mother, and throughout the memoir reflects back upon her issues with her mother, step-dad, siblings, ex-husband, and other various people in her life.
It reminded me a little bit of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" with the distinction being that I actually cared for Strayed vs. the pompous author of Zen.
I borrowed this book thinking I could read it over a few weeks, but ended up finishing it over a weekend.
I really liked this book - maybe one of my favorites this year so far.
