She told him on her deathbed to hike the Appalachian Trail. What followed was 2,200 miles of the most honest reckoning Steven has ever had with himself: hiking with five broken bones, through three hurricanes, while still, for stretches of it, wanting to be dead. He argued with God. He wept in a mud puddle. He watched a tree fall on the stump where he had been standing two minutes before. And in a small wooden hut the night before the finish, he finally forgave himself for something that had nothing to do with Sandy. Steven Wright is now two years off the trail. He wrote a memoir. He takes calls from people in the dark. Dark Miles is a narrative documentary series from Hiker Trash Radio. These are the stories that happen on the trail that the finish-line photo never captures.","meta_description":"Steven Wright’s wife Sandy died of triple-negative breast cancer.
