I did and it really stuck me as a powerful and moving story. Very authentic, I'm also an avid backpacker/hiker (although I haven't done any of the long trails like PCT) and I happen to be a Zen practitioner. I mention Zen because I've often drawn parallels between Shikantaza (zen meditation) and long hikes and although the author doesn't talk about a zen practice the way she discovers her life on the trail is very much like my experience in discovering my life via Shikantaza and on long hikes.
So well written and very authentic seeming and therefore I think it would not be a disappointment to anyone interested in reading a story that speaks to the heart of being a human being.
PS: In one scene she describes chasing away a bull with her eyes closed, then realizing that she had to either go forward or back along the trail but didn't know which way the bull went... very funny, very much pointing to the truth of human life, we never really know which way is safe to go...also very suggestive of a famous set of images in Zen, the Ox Herding sequence...anyway, I definitely recommend it for whatever that is worth.
