Happy Hiking: Falling in love on the Appalachian Trail

Domestic goddess, Emily Black Bear Leonard leaves the comforts of her home to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Having never spent the night in the woods alone she is in store for a journey of a life time. Spending the last 20 years taking care of the house and kids while her husband, Bruce took care of the finances she was ready to do something for herself. The 2,189.2 miles of wilderness would give her more than she expected. Life lessons, faith encounters, highs and lows, and even romance were just some of the gifts the trail gave her. Be ready to laugh and cry from Georgia to Maine as you hike with Emily on her journey through fourteen states.
