Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

The narration by unknown narrator brings the trail to life, but its authenticity is sometimes overshadowed by occasional uneven pacing. Matt Podolsky's story unfolds with a mixture of humor and poignancy as he recounts his journey with Candy, a retired professor turned hiker. The intimate relationship between mother and son comes through strongly, making for an emotionally resonant listen. However, some sections delve too deeply into historical tangents, potentially distracting from the main narrative. Still, it’s a touching tale that will have you reflecting on your own relationships and life journeys.
