Made For Walking
What do you do when you get fired (not pretty enough)
and dumped (not Jewish enough to meet his holocaust-surviving
grandmother) in one day? You run away, of course, which is just what
Cate does. Leaving Greensboro behind, Cate packs her clothes (yes, her
secret thong
collection is going) and heads out into the woods for a 2,000 mile hike
to rediscover herself. Dubbed Miz Independent by her new hiking
companions, she runs into rabid copperhead snakes, drunken locals,
pot-smoking high school dropouts, and a few really stand-up
people who help her see life isn't about pleasing other people, it's
about pleasing herself (not that way) that matters most.

Gemma Up-Over
Have you ever just needed
to get out of town? Away from
everything and everyone you know? That’s how seventeen year old Gemma
Allen feels after the death of her father. So, she packs up her bags,
uses the plane ticket for the trip they had planned together, and heads
Down Under to find her mom. She’s got a backpack full of cryptic
letters from her mother, maps of the Bibbulmun Track hiking trail, and
nothing left to stay in America for. Gemma travels to Australia in
search of her mom and ends up finding herself along the way.
