I didn't know what to expect with this book but l've been getting up at 5am (only time I can) and walking for a hour each morning, it's done me wonders but sometimes I need a little motivating as 5am is a hard schedule to keep. So I decided to give this book a shot. It did not disappoint, even got me back to my 5am walk after a long slump. I did like how she mostly said "walking" instead of "hiking" it makes it so much more approachable (as someone who does not hike). I found the authors thoughts and connections very interesting and maybe not ones I would have made myself. I'll mull some more and add if I think of something in particular.
I found tremendous value in this book and wouldn't be surprised if I go back to it. I'm glad she thought to look into stories of women walkers in history, maybe this is obvious for people who read a lot of hiking/nature books, but to me it seems very niche and I wonder if it was a hard sell to the publisher, if it was I'm glad she got it and took the time to walk these routes and write a whole book about them. Her writing is engaging and fun to listen to, as if you're privileged to hear your friends meandering thoughts on a special interest. Hopefully that sounds good, I mean it as a great thing. I listened to the Audiobook and the narrator was great, even did nice accents. If you are even remotely interested in the topic I would highly suggest picking it up! I'm tired, so hopefully this made sense... now to go plan my own trauma walk...

This was my favorite of the series by far. I’m writing this review far after I read it (though the stars given are from just after I read it) but I remember liking the ghost. The love story was good. I found this story to be the best in the series.
