Excelente libro!

Lo recomiendo al 100% esta en inglés, pero se entiende perfectamente, lo estoy disfrutando y me esta ayudando mucho. Seguramente estará también en español. / I recommend it 100% in English, but it is perfectly understood, I am enjoying it and it is helping me a lot. It will probably also be in Spanish.

Amazing book for anytime. Cheryl Strayed speaks the absolute truth with her writing, expressing her views and insights extremely in-depth. An awesome author, but ultimately, an amazing individual, so inspiring to the individuals who read her books.

This book is just what our beings need. There is a line that says "One day you will find yourself sitting on a park bench in the sun, your eyes closed and head laid back and you realize you're ok". That quote alone reminded me to just keep going. Definitely worth it.

I love Cheryl Strayed! I guess because I relate, although I never had the courage to backpack more than an overnight hike and that alone was enough to say “I will never sleep in a pup tent that is not waterproof!I relate to her mother, although I never owned a horse and if I did I would not have the finances to care for one. It is her heart her gentleness., and her willingness/inability not to be herself that I love. Even though I’m not good at that, in the end, I do it without trying.I should probably be talking about the book but it’s the writers words/experiences that draw me in. I see myself in so many of these quotes. She is compassionate and sincere. She challenges our thoughts and fears. She calls us out when that needs to happen because no one else will.I actually got this book at an e-library. It was one quote that told me…you need to buy this book.You see I am a mother who lost a child, a dear sweet child who told me only 1 week before his passing I was his best friend. Words that will live in my heart and spirit for years and after my passing years to come. She reminds me of the pain one goes through alone when you think no one knows. A feeling you think belongs only to you.I sent that page, of course included the author, to another mother in my position. I said, I hope I’ve not done this to you because I know before I experienced it, I would have done that.She wrote me back in the text and said not you but a lot of people do. I knew that pain. Rarely do we grieving mothers or should I say parent talk about the hurt that comes from our dearest people. It’s just so easy to assume what one would feel or should feel.Thank you Cheryl for understanding the deepest pain of grief.The best writers are the ones who write from experience. Don’t just check this book out, buy it, cherish it, a go to when you need to feel normal and whole, and seeking connection.
