Walking with Rocks: An English Woman Loose in the Woods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798642452189)

Determined to have an original mid-life crisis to celebrate her 50th birthday, Esther Parry sold her house, quit her jobs, and flew to America with nothing but a backpack and plans to walk the Appalachian Trail.

After finishing a successful undergraduate degree - and a not so successful second marriage - the journey she embarks upon turns out to be as much spiritual and emotional as it is physical. It's a journey of discovery...mostly discovering that she really, REALLY, hates rocks.
It quickly becomes obvious that the trail's description as "a bit rocky" is a ludicrous understatement. Relentless boulder fields take her mental and physical endurance to the limit and become the pivotal feature of her journey.
The challenging situations she encounters with complete naivety are both amusing and sobering, but it's her faith and the amazing kindness, hospitality, and encouragement of complete strangers that carry her through.

Honest and often funny, it will inspire you to find the courage to do 'that thing' that you never thought you could, but that you always dreamt you might.
