    The Barefoot Sisters: Southbound narrates the journey of 2 sisters as they take on the Appalachian Trail—without shoes.

    • Authors: Lucy and Susan Letcher
    • Softcover; 474 pages
    • Stackpole Books; copyright 2009

    At the ages of 25 and 21, Lucy and Susan Letcher set out to accomplish what thousands of people attempt each year: through hike the entire 2,175 mi. of the Appalachian Trail. The difference between them and the others? They decided to hike the trail barefoot. Quickly earning themselves the moniker of the Barefoot Sisters, the two begin their journey at Mount Katahdin and spent 8 months making their way to Springer Mountain in Georgia. As they hike, they write about their adventures through the 100 Mile Wilderness, the rocky terrain of Pennsylvania, and snowfall in the Great Smoky Mountains—a story filled with humor and determination. It's as close as one can get to hiking the Appalachian Trail without strapping on a pack.

    Made in USA.

          Comments about The Barefoot Sisters: Southbound:

          I've read many many books on the Appalachian Trail and this was one of my favorites (if not THE favorite). It's a realistic depiction of life on the AT, and it was written with grace, humor, and wit. If you want to know what life's like on the AT, and you want an entertaining read at the same time, this is a great place to start.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
