Reminiscent of Cheryl Strayed's <em>Wild</em>, Ryker's mind wanders as her legs carry her forward, beyond a woodland path, to places and people she thought she had forgotten. Her grandmother's spirit appears on Mount Baker. A lost cousin waits for her at the bottom of every ladder. Her late father's words reverberate among the calls of barred owls. There were days when she didn't see another hiker, but she was never alone. Celia began writing about a difficult hike and ended up writing about the people who inspired her throughout her life. These are her "trail stories." </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A fascinating narrative."</p><p>-Jennifer Belton, former White House Library Director (1978-82)</p><p><br></p><p>"Reading Walking Home</em>, my astonishment that a woman who had never slept in a tent and had balance issues would undertake an almost 300-mile backpacking trek on one of the toughest trails in North America matured into something deeper: an appreciation that being in touch with nature helps us be in touch with ourselves. I think you'll enjoy this book. It's great."</p><p><em>-</em>D.W. Allen, author of Dappled Psychiatric</em></p><br>
