Where the Rhododendrons Bloom - by Audrey Payne (Paperback)

About the Book

After recovering from a debilitating spinal injury, Audrey leaves behind a fast-paced career in Washington, D.C., to follow spring north as she hikes the Appalachian Trail.

Book Synopsis

When a debilitating injury forces Audrey to reprioritize her life, she is pulled away from a fast-paced career in Washington, D.C., toward a simpler life on the Appalachian Trail. As she follows spring north, meeting and befriending a colorful cast of characters along the way, she is faced with freezing cold, sweltering heat, roaring wind, countless pointless ups and downs, swarms of mosquitos, poison ivy, illness, injury, and heartbreak. Audrey is tested both physically and mentally but finds strength and joy in the magic of the trail and the friendships that she forges along her journey from Georgia to Maine.
