"An account of a record-setting thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail"--From publisher.

"Despite setting a record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather "Anish" Anderson struggled with imposter syndrome, believing her success was due purely to luck. Determined to crush her constant self -doubt and seek the true source of her strength, she set out again two years later, this time hiking through mud and over rocks, following the iconic white blazes of the Appalachian Trail. The 2,180 miiles of the AT from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy. Anderson contended with pouring rain, sultry humidity, biting gnats and flies, blisters, and steep grades for fifty-four days on a physically difficult, yet profoundly internal journey. The book is a testament to the power of a challenging physical feat to transform a person's self-awarenesss and sense of self-worth. As Anderson comes to realize, 'The trail has a way of answering the questions you most need answered, even if you are afraid to ask." --Back cover.
