"Hiking the Appalachian Trail is your dream adventure – but so far, you’ve done nothing but dream. What’s stopping you from making it a reality?... Bestselling author Jen Beck Seymour thru-hiked the trail in 2017, and she understands the fears and doubts that may hinder some women from following their hearts... In this book, she gives you the answers you need to these (and more) questions: Is it safe for women do this alone?; What can I do to protect myself from dangerous animals or people?; How do I deal with my period (and other bodily functions) while camping?; I don’t have a hiking partner – what if I get lonely or injured?; How can I keep my family from worrying or talking me out of it? Jen also interviews 12 inspirational women who recently hiked the trail – alone or with a partner (including a mom-and-son team and a family with a baby) – who share their stories with all the honest, down-and-dirty details about the challenges they faced before, during, and after their hikes"--
