Acerca de este título
A bracing memoir about self-discovery, liberating escape, and moving forward across an adventurous and volatile American landscape. One year. One national park at a time.
This is it. No more California. I’m sifting into the underbelly of where the nomads go.
After a decade as an assistant to high-powered LA executives, Emily Pennington left behind her structured life and surrendered to the pull of the great outdoors. With a tight budget, meticulous routing, and a temperamental minivan she named Gizmo, Emily embarked on a yearlong road trip to sixty-two national parks, hell-bent on a single goal: getting through the adventure in one piece. She was instantly thrust into more chaos than she’d bargained for and found herself on an unpredictable journey rocked by a gutting romantic breakup, a burgeoning pandemic, wildfires, and other seismic challenges that threatened her safety, her sanity, and the trip itself.
What began as an intrepid obsession soon evolved into a life-changing experience. Navigating the tangle of life’s unexpected sucker punches, Feral invites readers along on Emily’s grand, blissful, and sometimes perilous journey, where solitude, resilience, self-reliance, and personal transformation run wild.

“Thirtysomething Californian Pennington sets off on a yearlong journey to visit all 62 U.S. areas designated as national parks.… Life as she knows it unravels, and Pennington is confronted with choices she doesn't want to make…Pennington competently narrates her own story, relating her experiences and revelations along the way. Listeners who enjoy memoirs about self-discovery will enjoy Pennington’s candid debut. Suggest to fans of Cheryl Strayed’s Wild.”—Library Journal
“Emily Pennington's voice isn't booming, but her awe at seeing Alaska's Mt. Blackburn comes through strongly as she tells listeners about her attempt to visit every U.S. national park in one year.… Pennington's tearful or angry outbursts sound fresh, as does her softer tone as she turns a corner at the end.”—AudioFile Magazine
“The author’s unflinching honesty and the boldness of her inner and outer journeys are the two great strengths of a book…[that] succeeds in offering a moving portrait of a woman who came into her own by learning to let go.…Fierce, candid reading.”—Kirkus Reviews
