Book Review	This book is very near and dear to my heart. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, I was first intrigued by this book simply because I knew it was about a woman's experience backpacking alone. What I wasn't aware of prior to reading it was the emotional motivation she had for going on her trip. Although I have not experienced situations nearly as trying or difficult in my life as Cheryl had, I have turned to nature for healing during a difficult time in my own life. This book is a perfect example of how going off the grid for a while can be the perfect way to get back to yourself. Even if you aren't a backpacker or nature enthusiast, I believe everyone can relate to the desire to make a change in one's own life. Wild is an exceptional story of a woman doing just that.
