SUMMARY:"In My Boots" - Amanda K. Jaros
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading from In My Boots: A Memoir of Five Million Steps Along the Appalachian Trail with local author Amanda K. Jaros.  \nAbout the Book: When Amanda K. Jaros learns about the 2\,160-mile Appalachian Trail after college\, she walks away from a sheltered life dominated by an angry and volatile father and does something unexpected: spends six months backpacking. Alone. She expects to pass the time in the solitary and peaceful wilderness\, reflecting on her life’s direction. Instead\, she finds herself part of a community ripe with stinky socks\, buckets of ice cream\, and trail magic. What matters on the trail is not a hiker’s past or parents\, her fears or failures\, but rather\, what matters is the connections we make with each other. \nIn My Boots recounts a challenging physical journey following the trail over the windy balds of the South\, through snowstorms in the Smoky Mountain National Park\, and above the tree line to the alpine zones of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The journey is also emotionally transformative as this twenty-three-year-old leaves behind the compliant and scared girl she once was. With each step away from her damaged childhood\, each new friend\, each stop in another rural trail town\, she comes to understand that to succeed on the trail\, and in life\, it turns out\, the path she walks must be her own. \nAbout the Author: Amanda K. Jaros is the editor of Labor of Love: A Literary Mama Staff Anthology and author of 100 Things to Do in Ithaca Before You Die. Her essays on nature and family have appeared in Flyway\, Appalachia\, Terrain.org\, Stone Canoe\, and elsewhere. When not writing\, she can be found on a trail somewhere\, and has hiked the Inca Trail in Peru\, several trails in Australia\, and is currently working toward completing hikes of the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks. She lives in Ithaca\, New York\, with her husband and son\, where she recently took up kayaking and serves her community as a county legislator.
