Gold Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, TravelSilver Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, Motivational MemoirSilver Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, Personal DeterminationCelia Ryker's Walking Home: Trail Stories is about more than mud, sweat, and blisters while distance hiking the Long Trail. Reminiscent of Cheryl Strayed's Wild, Ryker's mind wanders as her legs carry her forward, beyond a woodland path, to places and people she thought she had forgotten. Her grandmother's spirit appears on Mount Baker. A lost cousin waits for her at the bottom of every ladder. Her late father's words reverberate among the calls of barred owls. There were days when she didn't see another hiker, but she was never alone. Celia began writing about a difficult hike and ended up writing about the people who inspired her throughout her life. These are her "trail stories."
