A woefully out-of-shape Sally quickly realises she may not actually be prepared for the realities of thru-hiking—brutal weather, wrong turns, and painful blisters have her wanting to quit almost as soon as she starts. But out of loyalty to Erin, or maybe due to the sinking realisation that her life needed upending, Sally sticks it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs she and Erin trek from Georgia to Maine, they collect a ragtag band of hikers and together stumble from one hilarious (and sometimes scary) predicament to another. By the time she reaches Maine—accompanied by Erin, their crew, and a guy she's maybe (definitely) falling in love with—readers will cheer for the stronger, more self-assured Sally that has emerged and wish they could start the laugh-out-loud, life-affirming adventure all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoing to Maine\u003c\/em\u003e is a journey filled with humour, friendship, and self-discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536617029868,"sku":"9781960018939","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781960018939-going-to-maine.jpg?v=1776384631","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/going-to-maine-by-sally-chaffin-brooks-9781960018939","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
