Trail Magic, JoDean Nicolette's memoir, takes readers on a decade-long journey north along the Appalachian Trail, beginning just after she completed her residency as a physician. The Trail tests Nicolette, allowing her to relive, deal with, and learn to heal herself with biophilia, a concept she then goes on to teach to her medical students and residents. By the time Nicolette reaches Katahdin, the last northern mountain on the Trail, we know we have not only witnessed her journey, but have navigated one of our own.
