Favorite quote: “Joy was our companion on that walk, up, up into the corries and high passes, the wind-blown ridges and the summits of stone and sky. At rusty burns where dragonflies hovered, we drank the clear cold water and, stopping for lunch, gathered the last of the wild berries and skipped stones across a shining loch. Higher up, we saw dotterel scampering so close they made us laugh and a raven pass overhead with a dark croak. We knew we had wandered into the plains of heaven and would never want to leave.”

From the publisher: The follow-up to the bestselling Wanderers, Kerri Andrews’s Way Makers is the first anthology of women’s writing about walking. Walking is, for the women included in this anthology, a source of creativity and comfort; it is a means of expressing grief, longing and desire. It is also a complicated activity: it represents freedom but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear. This anthology is testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.
