When Amanda K. Jaros learns about the 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail after college, she walks away from a sheltered life dominated by an angry and volatile father and does something unexpected: spends six months backpacking. Alone. In My Boots recounts a challenging physical journey following the trail over the windy balds of the South, through snowstorms in the Smoky Mountain National Park, and above the tree line to the alpine zones of the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

An Insightful Appalachian Trail Adventure.
Revisado: 04-15-25
In 1999, Amanda Jaros began a journey on the Appalachian Trail. She tells that story in her new trail memoir, In My Boots. I chose the audiobook format, and I was fully immersed from the very beginning. Narrator Ally Ibach is strikingly expressive in bringing Jaros’ experience to life for the listener, taking me onto the path, through the forests, up the mountains, and amidst the transformative process of a long-distance hike.
Jaros is a wonderful storyteller, and she is honest about the emotional history that she carried onto the trail, as well as her triumphs and trials throughout her trek. I cheered for her when she took her trail name, coming into her own in her new environment. It was hard to turn off the audiobook each night as I listened, as I was so engaged while she hiked solo, made new trail friends, and discovered so much about the AT, nature, and herself.
Whether you are a thru-hiker, a more casual walker, or one who loves the escape of reading about a personal adventure in the beautiful outdoors, I highly recommend this book to you.
