What happens when an ordinary woman says "yes" to an extraordinary journey?
When Jackie McKool first stepped onto the Appalachian Trail, she thought she was simply pursuing a dream of hiking from Georgia to Maine. Instead, she embarked on an eleven-year journey that would challenge her physically, stretch her emotionally, deepen her faith, and forever change the way she viewed fear, courage, and God’s faithfulness.
Told with warmth, honesty, humor, hope and deep curiosity, Book One of the Facing Fear Through Faith Trilogy is more than the story of hiking one of America’s most iconic trails. It is the story of learning to trust God through every season of life, finding hope in unexpected places, and discovering that courage is not the absence of fear—it is learning to trust the One who walks beside us.
Through breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable people, fascinating history, heartbreaking loss, and quiet moments with God, Jackie discovers that the greatest transformations often happen one faithful step at a time.
