What if losing your way is how a new path begins?

From the author of Wanderers: A History of Women Walking comes the story of one mother's journey from wilderness to freedom. 

___

After the upheaval of becoming a mother, walker Kerri Andrews finds herself carrying the idea that maybe the hills are no longer for her.

Yet, as she begins to uncover hidden stories of other mothers who’ve walked, she realises that there may be a way back to adventure – and herself.

So Kerri begins small, with walks along beaches and in cities, joined by women whose lives have also been reshaped by motherhood. And gradually, as her journeys grow bolder, drawing her to the valleys and peaks of her past, a new path begins to open. One that will offer the possibility of reclaiming both the mountains, and her freedom.

The result is an inspirational story for any mother who has ever felt the pull of the outside.
