By hiking 2,181 miles in 46 days, Jennifer Pharr Davis became not only the overall record holder on the Appalachian Trail but also the first female ever to set that mark. Yet, this is not a book about records or numbers; this is a book about endurance, faith, and, most of all, love. In her own words, Jennifer shares her story of how she embarked on a journey with her husband, Brew. With a deep love for hiking and each other, they overcame countless challenges - from rugged mountains and raging rivers to sleet storms and 100 degree heat. Together, they founded new friendships and tested old ones. They shared laughter and tears, and through it all, they discovered a deeper connection to each other and to the great outdoors.
By completing this extraordinary amateur feat, Jennifer Pharr Davis rose above the culture of multi-million dollar sports contracts that is marked by shortcuts and steroids. This is the story of a real person doing something remarkable. She is an authentic hero.
