Today is the day! I am over the moon to share that my Appalachian Trail memoir, “Where the Rhododendrons Bloom: A Thru-Hiking Adventure on the Appalachian Trail” is now available on Amazon and Kindle in ebook and paperback. Writing this book has been an incredible experience; I didn’t know I was capable of sitting down and concentrating long enough to create a *whole book* and it pushed me in unimaginable ways and allowed me to grow. It also let me process my AT experience five years after the fact, which was an incredible gift. I sobbed while writing the last portion of the book, when I marched through the 100-Mile Wilderness and on to Mt. Katahdin. All these years later, the AT still means as much to me now as it did then. 📚🥾
.
If you’d like to learn more about what it’s like to hike the Appalachian Trail or you’re interested in a story of perseverance and what can happen when you dare to follow your wildest dreams, I hope that you will pick up a copy. 💖
.
I will have a limited number of signed copies available for $22 each including shipping if you’re located in the U.S. You can PayPal or Venmo me if you’d like one (links in my bio). Just reach out and let me know! I should have them in hand around 2/13 and will send them out once I get them. 😊
