Grandma Gatewood's Walk by Ben Montgomery
The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail
In this inspiring true story, an elderly woman defies societal expectations and personal hardships to become the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail solo. At 67, she embarks on this monumental journey with little more than a pair of canvas sneakers and a homemade knapsack, driven by a desire for adventure and a break from her tumultuous past. Her remarkable trek not only challenges perceptions of age and gender but also sparks a newfound appreciation for the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit.
