I really enjoyed this book. The writing is raw and the exploration of past writings from fellow walkers was woven in very well. I wish there were pictures included in the book! The writing was lovely and I bet pictures from Kerri's walks would be beautiful too. This book raises many problematic issues that mothers face when the mothering journey begins. The challenges only get harder to navigate, and, in some ways, the support becomes even less available. This is a really touching and relatable read. Big thanks to the author for her vulnerable work. Thanks to NetGalley for an early copy.

While I liked the trekking experiences and the promoting of walking, which I love and find extremely meditative and empowering, I think this book’s biggest contribution is about being a woman, motherhood, parenting, postnatal life, and finding paths to navigate life.
The author and I have a lot in common, yet she describes many unique experiences, gives the floor to others’ for them to tell their stories and encourages the reader to consider and explore these sometimes more relatable and universal, sometimes unfamiliar stories.

Awesome book… a mix of reflections on motherhood, walking treks in Uk and stories from the past of female walkers. I loved the mix of topics and the intrepid stories from the past of strong female mothers and things they had to endure. Great writing, love to hear more from this author. Thank you to the author. Thank you to # NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

As someone who deals with chronic health issues and cannot be as active as one wants I enjoy the power of walking. Any movement that I can get at a speed that feels comfortable to me is so important. I hope people will read and appreciate the underestimated power of walking
