About this item

By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail (AT) , Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) , and Continental Divide Trail (CDT) -- a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is "Anish," conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage--her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail--pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers--she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence.



About the Author

Heather Anderson

I LOVE rainbow, sparkles, and anything iridescent. Duochrome eyeshadows are my FAVORITE makeup product, and are the reason why I wanted to learn how to make my own eyeshadows. I have been making my own makeup ever since.

Making makeup is so fun, simple, and rewarding. Once I started to make my own makeup, and found out how inexpensive, healing, and addicting it was, I felt the need to share what I had learned. Every woman should be able to have this knowledge and skill, every woman deserves to look her best, to have makeup that actually matches her skin tone (no matter how pale or dark) , every skin color is beautiful and unique and should be celebrated.
