In an effort to make sense of the deaths of several loved ones, Kathleen Dean Moore turned to the comfort of the wild, making a series of excursions to ancient forests, wild rivers, remote deserts, and windswept islands to learn what the natural world could teach her about sorrow and gladness. This book is a record of her life - tracking otters on the beach, cooking breakfast in the desert, canoeing in a snow squall, wading among salmon in the dark - but is also a profound meditation on the healing power of nature.
