Pathfinding : On Walking, Motherhood and Freedom

* Shortlisted for the Highland Book Prize 2025 / The Green Parent Book of the Month What if losing your way is how a new path begins? From the author of Wanderers: A History of Women Walking comes the story of one mother's journey from wilderness to freedom. ___ After the upheaval of becoming a mother, walker Kerri Andrews finds herself carrying the idea that maybe the hills are no longer for her. Yet, as she begins to uncover hidden stories of other mothers who’ve walked, she realises that there may be a way back to adventure – and herself. So Kerri begins small, with walks along beaches and in cities, joined by women whose lives have also been reshaped by motherhood. And gradually, as her journeys grow bolder, drawing her to the valleys and peaks of her past, a new path begins to open. One that will offer the possibility of reclaiming both the mountains, and her freedom. The result is an inspirational story for any mother who has ever felt the pull of the outside. ___ ‘Left me itching to lace up my boots and follow the call of the path.’ Laura Pashby, author of Chasing Fog ‘Powerful and unflinchingly honest’ Annabel Abbs, author of Windswept ‘An invitation that will leave you desperate to step outside.’ Resurgence & EcologistAuthor: Andrews, Kerri,author Contributors: Andrews, Kerri,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 224 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: New Published/Release Date: 13 Mar 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Elliott & Thompson Limited Author/Director/Artist: Kerri Andrews Dimension (cm): 216x140x20 mm Package Dimension (cm): 21x223x143 mm Item Weight (g): 326 Package Weight (g): 325
