In My Place Among Men, outdoor journalist Kris Millgate explores not only the wildest backcountry of America but her own experiences growing up poor and Mormon in Utah-and, ultimately, what it took to create a different life for herself. Her memoir is a? powerful tapestry of adventure, personal growth, and identity. In the lineage of Cheryl Strayed, Millgate may look to nature to find her place, but she's just as relentless as the wild itself.
