The Rage Less Traveled: A Memoir of Surviving a Machete Attack

After being brutally hacked at with a machete multiple times and with her friend murdered in front of her eyes, Kay Wilson somehow managed not only to fool her attackers and play dead, she rose to her feet and gagged and bound, and bleeding to death, staggered barefoot for over a mile. A harrowing and unfathomable ordeal, this book might have been one that people are afraid to pick up. Instead, the book is impossible to put down. Most surprisingly of all, it is peppered with an appropriate absurd hilarity. The book is as much about humanity as it is about the evil that tries to destroy it. It depicts the defiance of the human spirit to get through the impossible. An sobering yet blistering read that is as much about hope as it is about hell.
