A Walk For Sunshine by Jeff Alt
When I saw this book, I thought it would be interesting. I never thought I would love it so much. This is the story Jeff Alt's hike along the Appalachian Trail. Along the way he saved a dog from drowning, was chased by a bull, met a moose, survived freezing temperatures, driving rain, and met many people, some friendly, some not so friendly. Alt doesn't hold anything back in this amazing book. He tells it all even down to the blisters on his feet. Not only did he hike the 2,160 mile Appalachian Trail, he also raised $100,000 for the Sunshine Home where his brother who has cerebral palsy resides. Full of interesting characters, humor, and touching stories, this is a great book for both hikers and non hikers. Yes, it's a book about a hike, but it is so much more. It's a book about the love of one brother for another, fortitude and the human spirit. Very inspirational!! Additional info about the book:

That would be an interesting book to compare with Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods."
