Mel Ellis knows that her eating disorder is ruining her life. But she can't bring herself to go to rehab so someone else can fix her mess. Broken and empty in more ways than one, Mel makes one last-ditch effort to make hers a story worth telling. She will walk her own road to recovery along the lesser-known trails of the North American wilderness.
Though she is physically and mentally unprepared to face the difficulties that lay ahead, she sets off on foot from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and heads toward Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State. During the long journey, she meets strangers with their own stories, as well as ghosts from her past who can no longer be ignored. But though the land she travels threatens her success at every turn, it's her own dark thoughts she'll have to overcome in order to find peace in the life and the body she has been given.
With pitch-perfect timing and delightfully witty self-awareness, debut author Autumn Lytle masterfully leads readers on a journey down the hard path toward healing.

wow - I would give this book 6 stars if I could! It is such a powerful, moving story about one women's journey (both literally and figuratively) away from the lies that bind her, towards the love God offers. It's also a beautiful reminder of the positive impact that women can have in each others' lives. Beautiful.

A hopeful read
Written by someone who has had struggles with an eating disorder, it was an eye opening journey through how people deal with their issues. You meet some lovely people along the way. A very hopeful ending, I wouldn't mind reading what happens next!
