Sisters Lucy and Susan Letcher hiked the Appalachian Trail twice. Their unusual choice of footwear earned them the moniker "the Barefoot Sisters." This book chronicles their adventures on the first part of their hike, from Maine to Georgia: from summer thunderstorms and the craggy summits of the White Mountains to ice storms and blizzards in the mountains of Virginia and Tennessee; from the close friendships among the early southbounders to the long, lonely months of winter. For anyone who has hiked the Trail, this account will bring back memories, both fond and not-so-fond. For anyone who dreams of hiking the Trail, this book is about as close as you can get without strapping on a pack. Told with humor, grace, and honesty, this is a story to inspire future generations of adventurers.
