“Go, Granny, Go! . . . This astonishing tale will send you looking
for your hiking boots. A wonderful story, wonderfully told.”
—CHARLES MCNAIR, BOOKS EDITOR AT PASTE MAGAZINE AND AUTHOR OF
PICKETT’S CHARGE
“Grandma Gatewood’s Walk is a brilliant look at an America—both
good and bad—that has slipped away, seen through the eyes and feet
of one of America’s
most unlikely heroines. Gatewood’s story suggests anything is
possible; no matter your age, gender, or quality of your walking
shoes.” —STEPHEN RODRICK, AUTHOR OF THE MAGICAL STRANGER
“Grandma Gatewood’s Walk is sure to fuel not only the dreams of
would-be hikers, but debates on the limits of endurance, the power
of determination, and the nature of myth.” —EARL SWIFT, AUTHOR OF
THE BIG ROADS
“A quiet delight of a book.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS
