Carrot Quinn fears that she's become addicted to the Internet. The city makes her numb, and she's having trouble connecting with others. In a desperate move, she breaks away from everything to walk 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It will be her first long-distance hike.

In the desert of Southern California, Carrot faces many challenges, both physical and emotional: pain, injury, blisters, aching cold and searing heat, dehydration, exhaustion, loneliness. In the wilderness she happens upon and becomes close with an eclectic group of strangers - people she wouldn't have chanced to meet in the "regular world" but who are brought together, here on the trail, by their one common goal: to make it to Canada before the snow flies.

thank you, Carrot, for carrying me and your readers on your journey, and for sharing your heart so fully. and thank you, Erin, for being such a soulful and solid conveyance of Carrot's experience as reader. Carrot, my reluctance to read the story of someone so different in age and in so many ways dissipated as your writing drew me in to remember all that binds us. I greatly appreciated your sharing of your shifting emotions and thoughts and your hunger, your, solutions, and your missteps. i was constantly rewinding so as to miss no detail. i hope this book sells well for you, Carrot. you are such a fine raconteur. I listened to the story in my car and on planes. i started to feel like I was right with you. i found myself searching for trail food in grocery stores and shivering when you were cold. i wanted to spirit you off to a physician so many times to fix your ailments. we readers/listners have you and Erin to thank for enveloping us all on that PCT ribbon of land. Please write, Carrot; write more. i so wish you well.

It was a good thing I listened in short increments otherwise I would have lost my mind listening to the amount of “yeah”s and “I don’t know”s. Some of the descriptions were great but the dialogue was awful, boring and just plain dreadful. I gave it a 3 because of the dialogue she had with other characters.

“I don’t know “
