What do you do when your world ends? At 28 years old, Krista Schlyer sold almost everything she owned and packed the rest of it in a station wagon bound for the American wild. Her two best friends joined her - one a grumpy, grieving introvert, the other a feisty dog - and together they sought out every national park, historic site, forest, and wilderness they could get to before their money ran out or their minds gave in. The journey began as a desperate escape from urban isolation, heartbreak, and despair but became an adventure beyond imagining.

Chronicling their colorful escapade, Almost Anywhere explores the courage, cowardice, and heroics that live in all of us as well as the life of nature and the nature of life. This eloquent and accessible memoir is at once an immersion in the pain of losing someone particularly close and especially young and a healing journey of a broken life given over to the whimsy and humor of living on the road.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I couldn't finish listening... The narrator has a good voice but she needs to work on her reading skills. Boring because of a terribly monotonous reading.
The book may have too many descriptions for me but maybe a more engaging reading would have made it feel different... I returned.

Terribly monotone narration
