YPs Read is a book club for members of the Sioux Falls Young Professionals Network. We will focus on reading Personal and Professional development books. Join us on March 14th! Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail is the 2012 memoir by the American writer, author, and podcaster Cheryl Strayed. The memoir describes Strayed's 1,100-mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in 1995 as a journey of self-discovery. "Wild" was also a feature motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon in 2014 based on Strayed's book. This Memoir / Author is in conjunction with the SME: Women In Business event happening on March 22nd - where Cheryl Strayed will be our keynote speaker. Several YPN members are part of SME and on the Women In Business committee and would love to have you join us for this book club and an amazing and powerful event geared towards all women in all stages of their careers / lives.
