Shelly's Book Journal

This was a fantastic book. I'm a memoir junkie, and there is nothing I love better than some ordinary joe (or in this case, Kevin) tell me about one of the coolest things in his life. The story starts in Georgia at the base of the Appalachian trail, where Kevin will start the 2200 mile hike to Maine. He's an ex marine and a recently ex husband. In taking the time to figure out the next chapter of his life, his next chapter actually finds him."Fruit Pie" (his trail name) joins up with a whole host of real-life characters as he makes his trek with not-always-so-faithful canine companion, Rufus. It's comical at times, yet heart-warming, inspiring and eye-opening, as we the reader began to understand this enormous undertaking and all that it takes. Not everyone who joins in the trail is even aware of these things. All and all, it is an enjoyable tale.I am so thankful for a chance to read this wonderful book - something that most probably would not have happened had I not had a Kindle!
