Who is “Hiker Chick”?

February 16, 2023 by Astrid Leave a Comment

Some people read Persist and come away learning something new.

Sometimes it’s about Israeli self-defense.

Sometimes it’s about hiking.

Sometimes it’s about how an awkward human functions in social situations.

All of those things I have first-hand experience with.

But this blog is going to focus on hiking.

We’ll talk about gear and trip planning and various skills to keep yourself safe on the trail so can enjoy your outdoor adventures. As Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati said, “Verso L’Alto.” To the heights.

So this first post is just to set the stage, but I’m going to plan some content and get right back into it ASAP.

  • LAURA G.Good foundation, can’t wait for the next one!

    I got a paperback copy of this book as a gift for my birthday, and I’m happy to say I loved it! I appreciated all the character development for the protagonist; I felt like I was settling in for a long series to come. The ending definitely left me wanting more!

  • YvetteWill leave you anxiously wanting to read the second!

    The books I read are self help books, and for a while I had been wanting to pick up a fiction book, so I was pretty excited to read this book, and it did not disappoint. Right away I got lost in the book. Fell in love with the characters and was intrigued by the case!!

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

  • Trinity WaddellReview through Voracious Readers Only

    Thought this book was gripping and interesting until the end. I was disappointed with the ending. It ended so suddenly with questions left unanswered but look forward to seeing what happens next. Sam is a fabulous character. My favourite type- a strong woman who knows what she wants in life. Ben, well, I can't decide if I like him or not. He seems like a bit of a jerk. I liked the touch of faith in the story. An enjoyable read.

  • Joni TruexGood suspense story

    Persist is an interesting story with a strong protagonist. Intelligent, beautiful and complicated describe her. There is suspense, mystery, romance and intrigue. I liked the quick pace, the characters and plot. Warning: Language and mild sexual content. The cliffhanger ending has me looking forward to the rest of the story.

  • MoniqueThriller keeps you guessing

    If you love a procedural thriller I’d recommend picking this one up. Gripping from the first twist. Give this indie author a try.
