No Man’s Land: Unpacking One Woman’s Worth on the Colorado Trail (Memoir), Rustic, CO
In No Man’s Land, a suicidal woman reckons with midlife, systemic female conditioning, and internalized ageism and sexism, as she hikes the 500-mile Colorado Trail.
“My memoir challenges the narratives we’ve been spoon-fed since birth about how women should look and behave in the world. I hope it inspires women to start putting themselves first.”
