In a remarkable true story of commitment, perseverance and the will to survive, Bill Irwin, the first and only blind person to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, through fourteen states, along 2,168.9 miles, Bill and Orient walked, sending a message to all of us, reminding us of and encouraging us to pursue our own impossible dreams. Review by his daughter Marianne: A friend asked me if I had ever read the book and I was embarrassed to tell her that I had not. I began reading it, and I found it very difficult to put it down. I was fascinated by the details of this amazing journey my father had made, and all that went on in my father's life before, during, and after that trip. It inspired me to make some changes in my own life. I am grateful to call this man my father!
