Many books have been written by thru-hikers, but none measure up to Jennifer Pharr Davis’ epic. The Appalachian Trail speed record holder describes her journey from college graduate to a student of the trail in stunningly beautiful detail. Her tales from the trail are full of adventure and inspiration, and her writing is as lyrical as her Odyssey-inspired trail name. She offers concrete, trail-tested advice for aspiring thru-hikers, and she candidly shares her failures and frustrations along with her successes. If you’re searching for the one A.T. book that best captures the spirit of the trail, follow in the footsteps of Odyssa.
