The Barefoot Sisters Walking Home - Adventures on the Appalachian Trail
There is so much I want to convey about this book but where to start. The writing is phenomenal, the story is compelling, the Sisters, Isis and jackrabbit, are charming, enchanting, witty and above all very good storytellers. This is the true story of 2 young sisters from Maine who hiked the Appalachian Trail southbound, barefooted, and had so much fun that they decided to hike north towards their home in Maine. And of course they did it barefoot. This is the tale of their north bound trek. This is not just about hiking the AT but about life and discovering your inner strength and pushing beyond what you thought your limits were. Truly one of the finest Appalachian Trail narratives ever written and thoroughly enjoyable. This book stands on its own but be sure to read their first book, 'The Barefoot Sisters - Southbound - An Adventure on the Appalachian Trail' (Campmor item #99779).Wonderfully written and brutally honest.An honest account of life on the trail.Lucy Letcher is an artist and a writer.
