100% Certainty Book Club

Join Bethell Hospice and the Orangeville Public Library as we read and discuss books that explore themes of life, love and loss. 

Thursday, March 6, 7 to 8:30 p.m., Mill Library - Our first book of the year is an oldie but a goodie – Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. 

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State — and she would do it alone.

Goodreads Choice Award Winner for Readers' Favorite Memoir & Autobiography (2012)
