Aspen is the author of the internationally bestselling memoir Girl in the Woods, published by HarperCollins in 2015.

After being raped on her second night at college, Matis dropped out. Depressed and shocked that her school didn’t believe and protect her, she sought solace in a remote wilderness; she found the Pacific Crest Trail and hiked the footpath’s entire length, over 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada
