Why read it?
1 author picked Becoming Odyssa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
An advance copy of this book appeared in my mailbox one day, courtesy of a publishing company hoping for a book review.

I didn’t pitch it in the trash, however, because I’d long been intrigued by the book’s subject matter—thru-hiking a long-distance trail.
This book gave me great insights into what such a feat would entail, both in preparation and on the trail, plus showcased experiences I could expect along the way, especially as a woman hiking solo.
From Melanie's list on inspire you to plan a long-distance hike.
