Hiking with POTS, Book Publishing, and Self-Discovery on the Trail: Grit Lit Featured Author Christine Reed
“I thought, if we’re all out here trying to be so independent, and we’re all feeling painfully lonely about it, maybe we don’t have to do that. And I thought sharing that story might empower other people to recognize that they’re not the only one going through that experience.” – Christine Reed
