Summary:
Early on a May morning, Emily Taylor Smith straps on a small backpack and leaves the Halifax Common to start her journey along the coastal roads of
Nova
Scotia
. Planning to cover almost a marathon a day, she will walk the perimeter of the entire
province
in just under three months to raise awareness for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Brigadoon Children's Camp Society. She billets with locals each night and meets countless
Nova
Scotians who come out to walk with her, support her project, and tell their stories. Along the way, fellow walkers share family folklore, tales of buried gold, lost fingers, and detailed instructions on how to catch a beaver by the tail. Struggling with blisters, fatigue, and an encounter with a bear cub, Emily walks on, overwhelmed by the generosity of her hosts in each community and by the stunning coastal views at every turn.
Around
the
Province
in
88
Days
details Emily's beautiful and quirky experiences on the road as she develops an intimate connection with the
province
and its people, unsuspecting of the vast changes the trip will eventually set in motion in her own life. Emily Taylor Smith has walked the perimeters of Prince Edward Island and
Nova
Scotia
, the coastlines of New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula, and also completed a 100-kilometre walk from Halifax to Truro in 19 hours.
