I sent this in an email but thought I'd post it here as well, re: Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It's an article that appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press on 10-24-14, featuring an interview with the author. She states, "I had decided to be present and awake in my own life." and "I think it wasn't a heroic hike. I think I was in a heroic battle to get back to myself." She concludes, "The greatest gift to me in writing 'Wild' has been that -- being a voice that contributes to a conversation [about grieving] that I think we need to have."

PS: The book has been adapted into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon and will be in theaters Dec. 5.
