In Pack Light: A Journey to Find Myself, author Shilletha Curtis traces her Appalachian Trail thru-hike from Georgia to Maine while facing her traumatic upbringing, depression and the fallout from a global pandemic. This is an interesting read on how perseverance and big goals can help one manage the daily fight with depression.
This memoir, ideal for adult readers, includes descriptions from the trail. Although grueling, it is beautiful. You will, like me, be invested in Curtis reaching her goal.
