Live Free and Hike is a candid and humorous story of a woman’s transition from a place of grief and shame to one of healing, resilience, and grace—one mountain summit at a time.

Linda Magoon is an environmentalist and outdoor enthusiast. She reconnected with her love of hiking after ending a difficult marriage and set out to climb all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks. Now Linda writes and empowers others on the mental and physical health benefits of the outdoors. Her outdoor essays have been published in various magazines. She is a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club and NH Writers’ Project.

Following the presentation and Q&A, copies of the book Live Free and Hike: Finding Grace on 48 Summits will be available for purchase.
