Summary:
"The spellbinding story of Chris
McCandless
, who gave away his savings, hitchhiked to Alaska, walked into the wilderness alone, and starved to death in 1992, fascinated not just New York Times bestselling author Jon Krakauer, but also the rest of the nation. Krakauer's book, Into the Wild, became an international bestseller, translated into thirty-one languages, and Sean Penn's inspirational film by the same name further skyrocketed Chris
McCandless
to global fame. But the real story of Chris's life and his journey has not yet been told--until now. The missing pieces are finally revealed by
Carine
McCandless
, Chris's beloved sister.
Carine
has wrestled for more than twenty years with the legacy of her brother's journey to self-discovery, and now tells her own story while filling in the blanks of his.
Carine
was Chris's best friend, the person with whom he had the closest bond, and who witnessed firsthand the dysfunctional and violent family dynamic that made Chris willing to embrace the harsh wilderness of Alaska. Growing up in the same troubled household,
Carine
speaks candidly about the deeper reality of life in the
McCandless
family. In the many years since the tragedy of Chris's death,
Carine
has searched for some kind of redemption. In this touching and deeply personal memoir, she reveals how she has learned that real redemption can only come from speaking the truth"--Provided by publisher.
