The Chair and the Valley: A Memoir of Trauma, Healing, and the Outdoors by Banning Lyon

4.0

A very intense memoir. The author spent a traumatic year in a psychiatric hospital even though he wasn't sick. All due to messed up parents and an insurance fraud scheme. Took him many many years to process and heal. The outdoors was a big part of his recovery.

Not easy to hear his story. His courage and powers of forgiveness are incredible.
