Like me, she's an Oregonian, and I attended her book signing in my town a few weeks ago. She's great, as a writer and as you said, a person. I read her book, promptly loaned it to a relative, and will read it again when it's returned. I could feel myself making the trek along the trail with her, her descriptions are that amazing. Now I see Wild has been chosen as Oprah's Book Club 2.0 selection. If you have a chance, I highly recommend attending one of Cheryl's presentations. You'll be glad you did!
