I stumbled upon this book whilst browsing and I’ve really, really enjoyed it. Grandma Gatewood’s story is that of a formidable woman who raised a very large family, was subjected to extreme violence and abuse from her husband and emerged as a strong, determined, independent woman and an excellent example to all of us. To complete walking the Appalachian Trail successfully, not just once, but three times and to do it back in the fifties and sixties with none of the modern equipment we take for granted nowadays. She’s a true heroine. I love, loved, loved this book and strongly recommend it. Excellent!

Inspiring and wonderful story of bravery and courage !

Good read. Amazing woman. Inspiring trek and appreciated her back story.

Fascinating story and woman!

Interesting and inspirational story.

It was boring. Narrator did nothing enhance the already boring book. Waste of time.

Well written, good imagery. I am in awe of this amazing grandma!!
