Please join us at Yardstick on First Friday, February 7, 2025 from 5-7pm to chat with Yolanda DeLoach, author of SQUATTER: One Woman's Journey to Reclaim Her Spirit on the Ice Age Trail. We'll have copies of her book for sale and Yolanda is delighted to sign them!Yolanda DeLoach is an avid section hiker and outdoors advocate having become a "Thousand-Miler" on the Ice Age Trail in 2021. She lives in Central Wisconsin, where she works as a palliative care/hospice registered nurse.
"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. Yolanda's website: https://yolandadeloach.com/
"SQUATTER takes us along on the hike of Yolanda DeLoach's life as she faces demons and then meets angels. She shows us what trail magic is all about. A book for readers wanting proof of the healing powers of nature to be discovered within themselves and along the Ice Age Trail"
--Patty Dreier, Past President of the Ice Age Trail Alliance
"Many People use long-distance hiking – whether intentionally or subconsciously – as a way to heal. That includes Yolanda DeLoach, whose memoir about her trek along the Ice Age 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
