Cool. I'm looking forward to it. Still ruminating about our hike.

I was struck by one of the lines in the beginning - you were actually

referring literally to the bears at your campsite, but the words " I

got tired of being scared " jumped out at me - wow, what a metaphor

for our lives with CMT. I can really relate to this, and how in the

wilderness (of all places, and where we probably would not have

ventured on our own, unless " led " -) we find so much inner calm, and

really " a new heaven and a new earth " .

There are so many " rites of passage " that we, with childhood CMT go

through and even ride out the winds with courage and resilency we

didn't know we have. Your hike of the PCT is a perfect example.

Bravo for a book with not only a story about your hiking, but with a

real, substantive, and lasting message for living with CMT.

I plan to read the book once more and then will write a formal review.
