Summary
The saga of the Barefoot Sisters continues with this sequel to The Barefoot Sisters Southbound. Lucy and Susan Letcher begin their journey home, hiking barefoot on the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Along the way, they must face the pleasures and perils of a northbound thru-hike, from bluegrass festivals and trail angel feasts to encounters with bears and venomous snakes. Readers will share in the story of the Letcher sisters as they bond with fellow hikers, brave the unpredictable wilderness, and test the boundaries of their friendship during their 2,175-mile-trip home.
