What if you could experience the thrill of an epic voyage through insurmountable obstacles without leaving the comfort of your own home?

It was 23 months after his accident, and Peter was still dealing with constant excruciating pain. He'd seen dozens of doctors and tried a myriad of medications, but nothing seemed to work. Faced with the impossible choice of suffering through the rest of his life, he had an unlikely epiphany, "If I could somehow hike 2,000 miles on the Appalachian Trail, then my leg will have to be better."

He set a starting date three weeks out, cobbled together a novice's pack, and set off on a journey destined to change his life forever—though not exactly how he had envisioned it. From the bleakest breakdowns to hilarious adventures, Peter's story is equal parts entertaining, enthralling, and enlightening. Join him on the trail, one step in front of the other, as he searches for some way to heal his body and soul while struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.

This book needed much more editing and the author should have done more research on pronunciation, wildlife, and other things. The way he pronounced words and names of cities made me cringe. I have friends from Dahlonega, Georgia and he butchered that name along with many others. It made him sound a bit simple minded. Also, if he knew the wolf was extinct why did he keep calling it a wolf? A bit of research into modern day coyotes would have helped. I thought editors helped with these types of errors. A professional narrator would have made this so much better.

Overall, it’s an inspiring story, but I was relieved when I came to the end of this book! It didn’t leave me wanting more.

Really enjoyed listening to Peters book. While I, like him, really longed for the fairytale ending of complete healing, the conclusion did not disappoint. Life is what we get, just got to figure out to deal with what comes our way! Peter does that in a way that is relatable and real, he does inspire. In the last year I've been diagnosed with an arthritic spine pulling up a life so packed full of adventure; ocean sailing, ocean and river paddling, hiking, building, cycling and just endless physical activity that its been incredibly hard to deal with. In my quest to overcome I am 3 weeks off starting an 800km walk on the Camino Frances, hoping to manage my issues and get to Santiago and a new place in my head. I came across Peters book quite happenstance and love that it has been so totally on point! I am sure when I am dealing with difficulties along the way of my journey, your determination and attitude will whisper in my head - great story Peter, enjoy keeping on!!

If Peter can walk 2,189 miles of the Appalachian Trail, you can too. We can do more than we think we can. Break complex scenarios into smaller parts, then complete the small objectives in sequence. You can accomplish more than you may now think feasible. This book edified me and I think it can edify you as well.

Very inspiring. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this excellent book.

I thought I would get bored with this story, but couldn’t wait to start where I left off. Peter does a great job narrating his journey and providing readers with techniques to use while navigating through life’s challenges. His final message is one that gives the reader the most strength. I highly recommend this story if you love to hike, walk and run or just love to be outdoors.
