<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A diverse group of hikers--by age, ethnicity, and background--set out separately to hike the whole Appalachian Trail from Gerogia to Maine. They all bonded, as thru-hikers tend to do. Some fell in love. (Published by the Appalachian Trail Museum Society; distributed by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.)</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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, <em>THRU: An Appalachian Trail Love Story. </em>In a tale described as "beautiful and alive," <em>THRU </em>captures the essence of the last great American adventure and answers the question posed by all thru-hikers: "What have I gotten myself into?" <em>THRU</em> is published by the Appalachian Trail Museum, which receives all proceeds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Richard Judy, who thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1973 as Peregrine, spent a long career in public relations for major U.S. corporations and is actively involved in local Georgia nonprofits that support hikers.</p>
