Watson read all three of Strayed's novels — Tiny Beautiful Things, Torch, and Wild — in three weeks and tweeted her praise to the author and to Reese Witherspoon, who starred and produced the 2014 movie version of Wild.
Synopsis: Torch (2006) is Strayed's debut novel that was loosely based on her life. It follows a Minnesotan family who must cope with the sickness and eventual death of a mother of two children.
Wild (2012) is Strayed's memoir of the months she spent hiking 1,100 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail at age 26 after feeling overwhelmed by her mother's death, her failed marriage, and the disintegration of her family.
Tiny Beautiful Things (2012) is a collection of essays from Strayed's "Dear Sugar" advice column, which she started anonymously writing for The Rumpus in 2010.
