"Most people think wilderness is where you go to find yourself. They're wrong. Wilderness is where you go when you're running from yourself—and if you run far enough, nature will teach you how to survive almost anything life throws at you."
For thirty years, Michelle has been a junkie for adventure—chasing the high that comes at places with no trail markers and no easy way out. True Nature is the raw, unflinching story of what happens when you venture into secluded wilderness, and what those wild places can teach you.
Written with gritty humor and brutal honesty, these stories tell the ugly truth about what happens when you’re willing to get lost to find yourself. And unlike typical memoirs, Michelle includes clues to the amazing hidden places that changed her life.
