Todo lo que somos hoy se gestó en la encrucijada de 1975.Esta es, por tanto, nuestra historia, la de nuestros padres y la de nuestros hijos.
El 20 de noviembre de 1975 murió Francisco Franco. En la compleja telaraña que se teje en una España al límite, tres ciudadanos se enfrentan a ese momento histórico decisivo: Manuela, una mujer que viaja de Extremadura a Madrid para visitar la capilla ardiente; José Luis, un joven que acaba de entrar en ETA y que prepara un atentado en Madrid; y Jaime, un procurador en Cortes, héroe carlista de la Guerra Civil, que se dispone a honrar al general en el Valle de los Caídos. Ellos no lo saben, pero sus vidas están conectadas por un hilo de pasadas circunstancias que han marcado el camino de su existencia. Una novela trepidante en la que Jesús Gallego dibuja con precisión aquellos días de incertidumbre y los largos años bajo una dictadura que parece eterna. Herencia es un relato sobre lo que pasó y sobre lo que pudo haber pasado, y su precisa representación de la España del 75 se convierte en una trama única con un impactante giro final que helará la sangre del lector. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everything we are today originated at the crossroads of 1975.
This is, therefore, our history, the history of our parents and of our children.
On November 20th, 1975, Francisco Franco died. In the complex web woven inside a Spain on edge, three citizens face this decisive historical moment: Manuela, a woman traveling from Extremadura to Madrid for the wake; José Luis, a young man who just enlisted in the ETA and is preparing an attack on Madrid, and Jaime, a prosecutor from Cortes, Carlist hero from the Spanish Civil War, ready to honor the general at the Valley of the Fallen. They don't know it, but their lives interconnect by a thread of past circumstances that marked the course of their existence. A fast-paced novel in which Jesús Gallego accurately depicts those days of uncertainty and the long years under a dictatorship that seemed to last forever. Inheritance is a story about what happened and what could have happened, and its precise representation of 1975 Spain turns into a unique plot with a shocking final twist that chills you to the bone.

An epic adventure, page after page!
Format: Paperback
Many women dream of making this hike (I once did) but few lace up their boots and get on the trail. And even a tiny fraction of those who DO realize their goal, could capture the experience like Joan Griffin. I read several chapters a night and always looked forward to getting back on the trail with her from my rocking chair.
The grandeur of the sights, the wonder of seeing the world well above 8,000 feet ~ for 27 days ~ reads like a personal diary. Every perspective, high and low, is captured: the practical issues of carrying on even with a twisted ankle on Day 1, then blisters, surviving sudden weather changes, confronting inner doubts, securing essential food and water, and losing the camera enrich the book in an authentic style.
In between all this, the reader remembers that it all took place with 40 pound backpacks on their backs!
It's a magical but real-life journey with the inevitable personality differences of the Three Women, as well as their uniquely personal reasons to hike. As the brave heroes arrive to the finish line, one is aware of the power of grace that accompanied them all along.
Yes, this experience changed the hikers but it also changes the reader. Being aware of those who live curiously and courageously provides a kind of encouragement for us to do the same, even after age 50.

Inspirational Read
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Griffin, J. M. (2023). Force of nature: Three women tackle the John Muir Trail. Black Rose Writing.
Joan Griffin loves exploring and lives in the Northern California foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Five legs, 27 days, 195.9 miles, this is a memoir of three 50+ women hiking the John Muir Trail located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Each day receives its own chapter providing a vivid description of the trail, challenges, and beauty. Walking created an "unpredictable reality," that was "bigger in every conceivable way than [her] imagination could have conjured." As you read through the story, you are transported to the trail, so vivid her recollections and descriptions of their experiences. She wore a necklace with the words strength, courage, and spirit; a mantra that served her well along the journey. Griffin found: "I found my very soul had acclimated to the natural world, and I was completely in tune with the Earth and the sky and the water surrounding me." Such an inspiring memoir!
This would be a good read for 50+ women who need a good dose of inspiration, those who like travel memoirs, and those interested in long-haul walking.

A great tale of women trekking together
Format: Kindle
This is well -written, enjoyable to read, and like the three women on the trail as a reader you don't want it to end as they near the end of the JMT. Filled with beautiful descriptions of scenery, humorous retelling of some difficult days, and interesting encounters with other people. Even for the non-hiker this book is a fun read.
