    A Child's Walk in the Woods is a father's account of traversing the Appalachian Trail with his young son and their exploration of the vastness of nature and the tenacity of human spirit.

    • Author: Paul Molyneaux
    • Hardcover; 215 pages
    • Stackpole Books; copyright 2012

    From the publisher: Imagine a 7-year-old boy asking his father if they can hike the entire length of the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail together. And then imagine that the father says yes. Now think, "what are they getting themselves into?"

    For the author of this deeply-felt book, the planned hike is an opportunity to bond with his son and be what he calls "Barbarians"—in touch with natural processes far from the comforts of home. It's also a chance for nature to do some healing in his life too. For the boy, it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

    Closely observed, wonderfully described and bracingly clear-eyed, this inspiring book will appeal to nature lovers and would-be AT hikers alike. It offers a vivid evocation of both the camaraderie and dangers of trail life—as well as the difficulties of modern child-rearing and the powerful lure of an untamed, natural world.

    Made in USA.
