![]() ![]() “Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. Like Brené Brown, she finds strength in changing her inner story: Throughout the book, Strayed grapples with the grief that led her down a path of substance abuse, self-destruction and sexual promiscuity. An international bestseller that remained on the NYT list for over a year, it was chosen by Oprah Winfrey as her first selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, and adapted by Nick Hornby into a hit film starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. In the 2012 backpacking memoir Wild : From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, Strayed traces her treacherous solo hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, from southern California to Oregon, following a messy divorce and the death of her mother. Her work’s been translated into nearly forty languages around the world. She started writing the weekly advice column “Dear Sugar” for The Rumpus in 2010, and has since hosted two hit podcasts for The New York Times based on the cult favorite. Cheryl Strayed is the bestselling author behind the novel Torch, and nonfiction books Wild, Tiny Beautiful Things and Brave Enough. ![]()
