Thru: An Appalachian Trail Love Story
When a mismatched group of aspiring thru-hikers gather at the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, they form a bond as they head north on a 2,000-mile trek of bickering, romance, self discovery and gritty humor. Richard Judy, who thru-hiked the A.T. in 1973, rehiked the Trail in sections in the 21st century to rediscover his love for wilderness and to reimagine a lifetime of adventure in his novel, THRU: An Appalachian Trail Love Story. In a tale described as "beautiful and alive," THRU captures the essence of the last great American adventure and answers the question posed by all thru-hikers: "What have I gotten myself into?" THRU is published by the Appalachian Trail Museum, which receives all proceeds.
