A bracing memoir about self-discovery, liberating escape, and moving forward across an adventurous and volatile American landscape.
Navigating the tangle of life\'s unexpected sucker punches, Feral invites readers along on Emily\'s grand, blissful, and sometimes perilous journey, where solitude, resilience, self-reliance, and personal transformation run wild..
What began as an intrepid obsession soon evolved into a life-changing experience.
She was instantly thrust into more chaos than she\'d bargained for and found herself on an unpredictable journey rocked by a gutting romantic breakup, a burgeoning pandemic, wildfires, and other seismic challenges that threatened her safety, her sanity, and the trip itself.
With a tight budget, meticulous routing, and a temperamental minivan she named Gizmo, Emily embarked on a yearlong road trip to sixty-two National parks, hell-bent on a single goal: getting through the adventure in one piece.
After a decade as an assistant to high-powered LA executives, Emily Pennington left behind her structured life and surrendered to the pull of the great outdoors.
I\'m sifting into the underbelly of where the nomads go.
No more California.
This is it.
One National park at a time.
One year.
