The Wild Truth

The spellbinding story of Chris McCandless, who gave away his savings, hitchhiked to Alaska, walked into the wilderness alone, and starved to death in 1992, fascinated not just by the bestselling author Jon Krakauer, but also the nation. Krakauer's book, Into the Wild, became an international bestseller, translated into thirty-one languages, and Sean Penn's film by the same name further skyrocketed Chris McCandless to fame. The true story of Chris’s life and journey is now fully revealed in The Wild Truth, written by his sister Carine McCandless, who shares her own story and the family's troubled dynamics.
