Movie SUMMARY

This is an excellent movie about one woman's attempt to find herself after living a life of lose and few options. On a whim she decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail that runs the whole length of the west coast. She discovers the strength she needs (that she didn't know she had) to do what needs to be done to make this journey. The movie tells her story via flash backs - the death of her mother - drug addiction - bad men. She does it. She does it alone. And along the way she learns she is much stronger than she thought.
This gets a big thumbs up from me..

With the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, alone. Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddens, strengthen, and ultimately heals her.
