Description
Written wearing muddy boots, in wet tents and with frozen fingers, Bronwyn Preece’s Hiking Beyond is a collection steeped in the messiness of being alive. With reverence for geology, ornithology, botany, history and all that resists easy categorization, Preece captures the soundbites, questions and quiet revelations of solo, backcountry travel. From recovery from injury to the realities of living with a genetic disorder, Hiking Beyond explores what it means to hike, to heal, and to belong.
