About Squatter
"I’m emotionally not in a good place." So begins Yolanda DeLoach’s raw and redemptive SQUATTER, a tale of trails, trekking, and overcoming trauma.
Between heartache and the realization that a relationship was never as it seemed, DeLoach pushes herself toward Wisconsin’s historic Ice Age Trail, a place of friendship and, ultimately, forgiveness. But the forgiving starts from within as she makes her way, section by section, along the trail’s storied footways. Honest, heartfelt, and told with a survivor’s grace, SQUATTER inspires, encourages, and listens, like a good friend on the trail.
"Beautifully showcases both the wonders of this National Scenic Trail and how therapeutic hiking can be.”
- Melanie Radzicki McManus
author of Thousand-Miler: Adventures Hiking the Ice Age Trail
