You Go, Grandma!

The first woman to hike the entire 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail, Emma Gatewood was 67 when she took off for a walk without a work to anyone with just one change of clothes and $200 in her pocket. The journey took this mother and grandmother 146 days and inspired many to follow in her footsteps. Read all about it in "Grandma Gatewood's Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail," the new book by Ben Montgomery, a Pulitzer Prize finalist. $17.38 on Amazon.
