"Gdy grzeczne dziewczynki zaczytywały się w „Jedz, módl się, kochaj”, Cheryl naprawdę postanowiła coś zmienić. Jej życie nie było pasmem sukcesów. Wręcz przeciwnie. Najpierw zaczęło sypać się małżeństwo, potem nastąpiła seria miłosnych wpadek, a na końcu spadł na nią prawdziwy cios – straciła najbliższą osobę. Zawsze miała w życiu pod górkę, ale tym razem los grubo przesadził. Zła i rozżalona, rozpaczliwie szukała wyjścia z sytuacji, nowej drogi życiowej. Jak to zwykle bywa, zadecydował przypadek. Impulsem do zmian okazała się podróż życia. Podróż szlakiem wiodącym wzdłuż Ameryki Północnej. Podróż w głąb siebie. Co prawda nie wszystko poszło tak, jak sobie wyobrażała. Miało być rozgwieżdżone niebo i zapach łąki, a nie przeprawa w jednym bucie i tachanie ciężkiego plecaka z piłą. Ale się opłaciło. Bo zgodnie z zasadą co nas nie zabije, to nas wzmocni – Cheryl wygrała. Ruszyła w podróż jako dziewczynka, wróciła jako dojrzała kobieta. Pewna siebie, silna, gotowa zawalczyć o siebie i o swoje życie. Udowodniła, że DROGĘ warto wybrać sobie samemu. Prawdziwa historia, która podbiła serca milionów czytelników w Stanach Zjednoczonych – wśród nich znalazły się Oprah Winfrey i Reese Witherspoon, która kupiła prawa do jej ekranizacji. "

La historia de los 1800 kilómetros que la joven autora anduvo en su recorrido a pie por la cordillera del Pacífico de los Estados Unidos. Con veintidós años creía que lo había perdido todo en la vida. Tras la muerte de su madre y tomar la decisión de separarse, sus hermanos se dispersaron y ella se quedó sin pilares sobre los que construir su vida. Cuatro años después de la muerte de su madre toma la decisión más impulsiva de su vida: recorrer el camino del las Cumbres del Pacífico, una ruta de senderismo que recorre toda la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos, desde el desierto Mojave en California y Oregon al estado de Washington. Y decide hacerlo completamente sola. Sin ninguna experiencia en senderismo, y ni tan solo habiendo pasado jamás una noche al aire libre, para ella se trataba de una idea, vaga y extravagante y prometedora. Pero esa promesa se convirtió en la necesidad de volver a juntar las piezas del rompecabezas en que se ha convertido su vida. Narrada con suspense, estilo, sentido del humor y ternura, Savaje consigue atrapar el miedo y los placeres en la vida de una joven que se encuentra en el proceso de forjar su vida contra toda expectativa, en el viaje que la volvió loca, que la fortaleció y que acabó por sanarla. La crítica ha dicho... «Espectacular...Te atrapa... Una aventura que te quita el aliento y una profunda reflexión sobre la naturaleza del dolor y la supervivencia. Un triunfo a nivel literario y personal.» New York Times Book Review «Un libro ameno y a ratos duro, que hará las delicias de senderistas y amantes de la buena literatura con las peripecias de una joven en proceso de reconstrucción, a lo largo del viaje que la volvió loca, que la fortaleció y que terminó por sanarla.» Evadium
