Hungry for the World: A Memoir

I sought out this book because I loved this author's novel, In The Wilderness. Her love of the wildness of nature intrigues me and I wanted to read more about that life.

This memoir is beautifully written. Her understanding of her actions and rebellions against a strict religion were thoughtful. Bu as her story progresses, it gets darker and twisted. She has certainly struggled as a result of being told and shown that the man and his needs come first. I found I kept checking the bio on the back cover to reassure myself that she moves past the darkest parts.
