In 2012, Cheryl Strayed wrote about her 1,100-mile solo hike along the Pacific Crest Trail in her widely loved memoir, Wild. Just two years later, you can see a big-screen adaptation of Cheryl's book, featuring Reese Witherspoon as the author on a journey of self-discovery.
Long before the film was announced, Oprah sat down with Cheryl to take an in-depth look at Wild, the first selection for Oprah's Book Club 2.0, and to discuss how Cheryl felt before, during and after her life-changing trek. Before you see Reese in hiking gear, get to know her real-life counterpart and find out just how close the film hewed to reality.
