Publisher's Summary

Time is precious. The world is waiting. Rediscover yourself. The Great Alone is the epic adventure of a relatable explorer.

Why does a 44-year-old father leave his family for six months to walk 4,286 km across America on the Pacific Crest Trail? What effect does it have on his marriage? on his children? and on himself? Following his ­intuition, Tim Voors decided to embark on a life-changing hike, feeling alive, being afraid, pushing through pain, confronting emptiness and starting a passionate romance with the wilderness.

Tim Voors takes us through the physical, mental and spiritual journey he experienced on this epic hike. Climb into his backpack as he takes you through deserts, mountains, forests and raging rivers, where he forges magical friendships, rediscovers who he used to be, and implements those lessons on returning home.

A Well Paced Adventure

Tim Voors has done an admirable job in expressing his journey along the Pacific Crest Trail and reflects many of the struggles and conflicts that through-hikers with partners and children have to negotiate while on the trail pursuing their goals. It was a good choice to have a narrator (excellent, sonorous, resonant, B.J. Genten) for whom English is a second language as it gave another dimension to the narrative that would not have come across with a first language narrator. Thank you both for the journey.
