ReviewsIf it seems superhuman, all it takes is reading her latest book to see that it's actually something more impressive. It's Anish, flesh, blood, and fully human walking in the woods, falling, getting back up, and walking some more, just like the rest of us.
SynopsisDespite setting a record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather "Anish" Anderson struggled with imposter syndrome, believing her success was due purely to luck. Determined to crush her constant self-doubt and seek the true source of her strength, she set out again two years later, this time hiking through mud and over rocks, following the iconic white blazes of the Appalachian Trail. The 2,180 miles of the AT, from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy. Anderson contended with pouring rain, sultry humidity, biting gnats and flies, blisters, and steep grades for fifty-four clays on a physically difficult, yet profoundly internal journey. Mud, Rocks, Blazes is a testament to the power of a challenging physical feat to transform a person's self-awareness and sense of self-worth. As Anderson comes to realize, "The trail has a way of answering the questions you most need answered, even if you are afraid to ask." Book jacket., Despite her success setting a self-supported Fastest Known Time record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather "Anish" Anderson still had such deep-seated insecurities that she became convinced her feat had been a fluke. So two years later she set out again, this time hiking through mud, rocks, and mountain blazes to crush her constant self-doubt and seek the true source of her strength and purpose. The 2,180 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy. Anderson struggled with its infamous rain, humidity, insects, and steep grades for 54 days. But because she had to fight for every step, she knew when she reached the summit of Springer Mountain, the AT's southern terminus, that she had fully earned the trail. Of greater value, she learned to love herself and her body, and to feel the depth of her power. Examining emotional scars as well as her relationship with her mother, Anderson's deeply internal yet highly physical journey in Mud, Rocks, Blazes is an essential story.
