“Filled with ruminative self-reflection, soaring natural descriptions, and delightful accounts of the gracious, life-sustaining ‘trail magic’ of hiking culture, Thirst is a testament to human endurance, inspiring to hikers and non-hikers alike.”

“Beautiful and deftly written and intimate and searing in its honesty, Anish’s is a quest to conquer the trail and her own inner darkness.”

—Foreword Reviews, starred review

“With humility and vulnerability, Heather ‘Anish’ Anderson reminds us that the most impressive feats of strength and endurance are entirely human endeavors, achieved one step at a time. Thirst takes the reader to the trail, but also to the heart.”

—Ben Montgomery, author of Grandma Gatewood’s Walk

“Heather Anderson’s book is much like her extraordinary trail accomplishments: extremely personal yet universally inspiring. She exposes the value of following a path apart from the mainstream, and convinces readers of their own ability to unleash personal reserves of endurance to push beyond mental limitations and cultural expectations.”

—Jennifer Pharr Davis, author of The Pursuit of Endurance

“Just like Heather thru-hikes the PCT from Mexico to Canada, you will thruread Thirst cover to cover for insight into her impressive accomplishments.”

—Gina Lucrezi, founder of Trail Sisters

“Thirst is the kind of book that sits in your bones. It makes you want to push harder at whatever it is you do. Anish is possibly the greatest athlete in the world, but she didn’t start that way. This book gives you hope and courage by showing that no matter who you are or where you are at now, you can do more.”

—Liz “Snorkel” Thomas, author of Long Trails: Mastering the Art of the Thru-Hike

“In no uncertain terms, Heather ‘Anish’ Anderson is a legend in the long-distance hiking community. Thirst delivers an emotional, inspiring, and beautifully written narrative about the achievement that first put her on this map.”

—Zach Davis, editor in chief of The Trek
