On her second night of college, Aspen was raped by a fellow student. Overprotected by her parents who discouraged her from telling of the attack, Aspen was confused and ashamed. Dealing with a problem that has sadly become all too common on college campuses around the country, she stumbled through her first semester - a challenging time made even harder by the coldness of her college's "conflict mediation" process. Her desperation growing, she made a bold decision: She would seek healing in the freedom of the wild, on the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail leading from Mexico to Canada. In this inspiring memoir, Aspen chronicles her journey, a five-month trek that was ambitious, dangerous, and transformative. A nineteen-year-old girl alone and lost, she conquered desolate mountain passes and met rattlesnakes, bears, and fellow desert pilgrims. Exhausted after each thirty-mile day, at times on the verge of starvation, Aspen was forced to confront her numbness, coming to terms with the sexual assault and her parents' disappointing reaction. On the trail and on her own, she found that survival is predicated on persistent self-reliance. She found her strength. After a thousand miles of solitude, she found a man who helped her learn to love and trust again - and heal. Told with elegance and suspense, Girl in the Woods is a beautifully rendered story of eroding emotional and physical boundaries to reveal the truths that lie beyond the edges of the map."--provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.51097 Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.51097 Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Biography B 796.51097 Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.51097 Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.51097 Matis Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.51097 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
