While attempting a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, Soulflower lost her focus for just a moment. In an instant, her hopes and dreams were shattered when her foot snagged a branch at the side of a road. She had to get help, but no one would stop. Not only is this a true story of life on the trail (and one hiker's determination and grit,) but also of a town's tarnished reputation for being hiker-friendly, and ultimately of its redemption by the caring actions of a local family.
