Distant Skies

di Melissa A Priblo Chapman (Autore)

Trafalgar Square Books, 2025

Melissa Chapman was 23 years old and part of a happy, loving family. She had a decent job, a boyfriend she cared about, and friends she enjoyed. Yet she said goodbye to all of it. Carrying a puppy named Gypsy, she climbed aboard a horse and rode away from everything, heading west. With no cell phone, no GPS, no support team or truck following with supplies, Chapman quickly learned that the reality of a cross-country horseback journey was quite different from the fantasy. Her solo adventure would immediately rest her mental, physical, and emotional resources as she and her four-legged companions were forced to adapt to the dangers and loneliness of a trek that would span over 2,600 miles, beginning in New York State and reaching its end on the other side of the country, in California. Melissa's tale part American road trip, part coming-of-age adventure, and part uncommon love story–a remarkable memoir that explores the evolution of the human-animal relationship, along with the raw beauty of a life lived outdoors.
