About this listen

 Jim is experiencing a mid-life crisis. Divorced for five years, he recently lost his job. He understands he needs to reboot his life but is not sure how to go about doing that until he comes up with an interesting possibility.
At 49, he decides that thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail might help him find a new direction for his life. After months of physical training and logistical preparation, Jim and his younger brother begin the hike from Springer Mountain, Georgia.
Over the next 5 months, Jim experiences periods of doubt, fear, exhilaration, loneliness, compassion, and joy. He meets individuals from every walk of life, all of whom, he discovers, has something of value to teach him. Despite the many challenges of trail life, Jim ultimately reaches the terminus of the AT atop Mount Katahdin, a far wiser, and more purpose-driven individual. The story is both uplifting and memorable. Christian Fiction Genre Fiction Hiking Feel-Good

Like most who attempt these odysseys, I thought I had prepared, having read long and hard about the PCT, the CDT and also others accounts of the AT. However my attempt at being a through reader on this particular book has failed, I am at best a section reader having been injured by the author’s account of career counseling of other hikers, and then embarking on a similar climb when offering advice on family challenges being experienced by his brother. The discussions may have happened on the trail, but add nothing to my learning of the trail or the emotions of hikers, and they made this chronicle unreadable for me.

I’m leaving this book unfinished and once I heal, I will try the journey again through someone else’s eyes.
