Girl in the Woods
Author: Aspen Matis
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks
ISBN: 9780062291073
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Girl in the Woods is Aspen Matis’s exhilarating true-life adventure of hiking from Mexico to Canada—a coming-of-age story, a survival story, and a triumphant story of overcoming emotional devastation. On her second night of college, Aspen was raped by a fellow student. Overprotected by her parents who discouraged her from speaking of the attack, Aspen was confused and ashamed. Dealing with a problem that has sadly become all too common on college campuses around the country, she stumbled through her first semester—a challenging time made even harder by the coldness of her college’s “conflict mediation” process. Her desperation growing, she made a bold decision: She would seek healing in the freedom of the wild, on the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail leading from Mexico to Canada. In this inspiring memoir, Aspen chronicles her journey, a five-month trek that was ambitious, dangerous, and transformative. A nineteen-year-old girl alone and lost, she conquered desolate mountain passes and met rattlesnakes, bears, and fellow desert pilgrims. Exhausted after each thirty-mile day, at times on the verge of starvation, Aspen was forced to confront her numbness, coming to terms with the sexual assault and her parents’ disappointing reaction. On the trail she found her strength, and after a thousand miles of solitude, she found a man who helped her learn to love and trust again—and heal.

Book Description
"We're a match made in heaven but forbidden as sin."After tragedy struck, I vowed never to fall in love again. For the last ten years, I kept that promise, never staying with a woman longer than it took to screw them. Then she walked in... Back then she was nothing but a little girl, but now she's all grown up, with curves, and a smile that reminds me of everything I've spent the last ten years trying to forget. My attraction to her is instant, and wrong, on so many levels. I'll do anything I can, even make her hate me if I have too, to stop it. She's here to study, and I'm the newly appointed Dean. I shouldn't be tempted by a student, especially one who's ten years younger than me. And I definitely shouldn't be developing feelings for her. But I am... Because as badly as I don't want to admit it Lily might just be the one person to make me fall in love again. That is if I can let go of the hold her dead sister's memory has on my heart first.**This is book four in the North Woods University Series. It can be read as a complete standalone and contains NO cliffhanger, NO cheating, and a HEA. Please be advised this series contains material not suitable for all readers. This is NOT a YA series.**
