A light, easy read. It's a trope that's been done a lot before (the "woman has traumatic life event and then goes on a wilderness journey") but I still enjoyed the story and Katherine Center's writing style—finished it all in one day.
“Getting what you want doesn't make you happy... Having doesn't make you happy: appreciating does; Happiness is more about appreciation than acquisition.”
