But she never imagined that the twenty-eight-day hike would change her life. Part memoir, part nature writing, part travelogue, \u003ci\u003eAlmost Somewhere\u003c\/i\u003e is Roberts's account of that hike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Muir wrote of the Sierra Nevada as a \"vast range of light,\" and that was exactly what Roberts was looking for. But traveling with two girlfriends, one experienced and unflappable and the other inexperienced and bulimic, she quickly discovered that she needed a new frame of reference. Her story of a month in the backcountry--confronting bears, snowy passes, broken equipment, injuries, and strange men--is as much about finding a woman's way into outdoor experience as it is about the natural world Roberts so eloquently describes. Candid and funny, and finally, wise, \u003ci\u003eAlmost Somewhere\u003c\/i\u003e not only tells the whimsical coming-of-age story of a young woman ill-prepared for a month in the mountains but also reflects a distinctly feminine view of nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This new edition includes an afterword by the author looking back on the ways both she and the John Muir Trail have changed over the past thirty years, as well as book club and classroom discussion questions and photographs from the trip.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51434113335519,"sku":"9781496236920","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/eFrhQuvPG39781496236920.webp?v=1790024402"},{"product_id":"bad-tourist-misadventures-in-love-and-travel-paperback","title":"Bad Tourist: Misadventures in Love and Travel - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e2021 Independent Publisher Book Awards, Gold Medal Winner \u003cbr\u003e 2021 National Indie Excellent Awards Finalist \u003cbr\u003e 2020 Bronze Award for Travel Book or Guide from the North American Travel Journalists Association \u003cbr\u003e 2020 Bronze Winner for Travel in the Foreword INDIES \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both a memoir in travel essays and an anti-guidebook, \u003ci\u003eBad Tourist\u003c\/i\u003e takes us across four continents to fifteen countries, showing us what \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003eto do when traveling.
