Gail D. Storey is the author of I Promise Not to Suffer: A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail (2013), winner of the Barbara Savage Miles from Nowhere Memorial Award and the National Outdoor Book Award. This memoir is “as inspiring as it is hilarious, as poignant as it is smart…one of those oh-please-don’t-let-it-end books. I’d carry it in my backpack anywhere,” writes Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild (2012). Gail’s first novel, The Lord’s Motel (2011), is praised by the New York Times Book Review as “a tale of unwise judgments and wise humor.” Her second novel, God’s Country Club (2011), is a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Selection.
