This is sure to be a popular movie amongst the hiking community. REI is currently selling the book if you'd like to read the story ahead of time.

About the movie;

Adapted from Cheryl Strayed's best-selling memoir of the same name, director Jean-Marc Vallee's Wild stars Oscar-winner Reece Witherspoon) as a self-destructive divorcee who seeks to conquer her demons by hiking 1,100 miles across the Pacific Crest Trail. Cheryl was just 22-years-old when her mother Bobbi (Laura Dern) died of cancer in 1991. As children, Cheryl and her brother watched their mother endure intense suffering at the hands of their mentally and physically abusive father, and Bobbi was just getting her life together when she fell gravely ill. The loss was just too much for Cheryl to take, and before long she sank so deeply into heroin addiction that it destroyed her marriage. Four years later, Cheryl has hit rock bottom. She knows that unless she makes a change, the future she had once hoped for will slip out of reach. Later, as Cheryl begins her arduous journey through the wilderness, those painful memories come flooding back as she encounters numerous dangers and disheartening set-backs. Meanwhile the kindness of strangers will help her summon the courage and endurance she'll need to stay the path. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
