Seattle Arts & Lectures Presents: An Evening With Cheryl Strayed

Portland native Cheryl Strayed’s memoir "Wild" chronicles her journey of self-discovery on the Pacific Crest Trail — 1,100 miles, three states, and 11 burned books later. After the death of her mother and without any training, the newly-divorced Strayed set out on the hike of a lifetime. Along the way, she met fellow travelers, found solace in novels (which she began burning to lighten her pack), and ultimately, healed herself in the process. A "New York Times" bestselling author, Strayed is also the author of "Torch" (2006), "Tiny Beautiful Things" (2012), and the popular advice column "Dear Sugar."
