For several years, thousands turned to Cheryl Strayed, a then-anonymous internet AgonyAunt. But unlike most Agony Aunts, this one's advice was spun from genuine compassion andinformed by a wealth of personal experience - experience that was sometimes tragic andsometimes tender, often hilarious and often heartbreaking. Having successfully battled her owndemons while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Cheryl Strayed sat down to answer the letters ofthe frightened, the anxious, the confused; and with each gem-like correspondence - of whichthe best are collected in this volume - she proved to be the perfect guide for those who had gota little lost in life.
'Strayed's worldview - her empathy, her nonjudgment, her belief in the fundamental logicof people's emotions and experiences despite occasional evidence to the contrary - beginsto seep into readers' consciousness in such a way that they can apply her generosity ofspirit to their own and, for a few hours at least, become better people... courageous andengaging stuff.' - New York Times
