The Adventures of the Barefoot Sisters, Book 1: Southbounders
by Susan Letcher, Lucy Letcher
Sisters Lucy and Susan Letcher hiked the Appalachian Trail twice. 
Their unusual choice of footwear earned them the moniker “the Barefoo 
Sisters.” This book chronicles their adventures on thefirst part of 
their hike, from Maine to Georgia: from summer thunderstorms and the 
craggy summits of the White Mountains to ice storms and blizzards in 
the mountains of Virginia and Tennessee; from the close friendships 
among the early southbounders to the long, lonely months of winter. 
For anyone who has hiked the Trail, this account will bring back 
memories, both fond and not-so-fond. For anyone who dreams of hiking 
the Trail, this book is about as close as you can get without 
strapping on a pack. Told with humor, grace, and honesty, this is a 
story to inspire future generations of adventurers.

The Adventures of the Barefoot Sisters, Book 2: Walking Home
by Susan Letcher, Lucy Letcher
Sisters Lucy and Susan Letcher hiked the Appalachian Trail twice, from 
Maine to Georgia and back again. Their unusual choice of footwear 
earned them the moniker "the Barefoot Sisters." This book chronicles 
their adventures on the northbound leg of their journey. After a hard 
winter on the Trail (described in "The Adventures of the Barefoot 
Sisters, Book 1: Southbounders"), the sisters thought it would be easy 
to just turn around and walk back. Little did they know... From snow 
in the Smokies to close encounters with bears and rattlesnakes, from 
bluegrass festivals to wild blueberries, this book is an unvarnished 
account of the pleasures and perils of a northbound Appalachian Trail 
hike. It's as close as you can get to the spirit of the adventure 
without strapping on a pack.
