By Kathleen Dean Moore

This Homeward Journey: The Mountain 10 is a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kathleen Dean Moore. The book is a memoir of Moore's experience hiking the John Muir Trail, a 211-mile trail that follows the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Moore's journey is both physical and spiritual, as she reflects on her life, her relationships, and her place in the world.

Moore begins her journey at the southern terminus of the trail, at Whitney Portal. She is joined by her husband, Steve, and their two friends, John and Mary. The four hikers set out on their journey with high hopes and a sense of adventure. However, the trail is soon to prove to be more challenging than they had anticipated.

The hikers encounter a variety of obstacles along the way, including extreme weather conditions, difficult terrain, and wildlife. Moore also struggles with her own personal demons, including her fear of heights and her grief over the loss of her mother. However, through it all, she is determined to complete the trail.

As Moore hikes the trail, she learns a great deal about herself and the world around her. She learns the importance of perseverance, patience, and courage. She also learns the value of friendship and the power of nature. By the time she reaches the northern terminus of the trail, at Happy Isles, she is a changed woman.

This Homeward Journey: The Mountain 10 is a beautiful and inspiring book that will appeal to anyone who loves hiking, nature, or memoirs. Moore's writing is lyrical and evocative, and her story is both personal and universal. This book is a reminder that we are all capable of great things if we set our minds to it.
