Description
Blending memoir, natural history, and personal essay, this luminous collection explores the fragile connections between the human world and the wild lives unfolding around it. Set against the changing seasons of a Nashville backyard, it moves among birds, insects, plants, and other creatures while reflecting on family, aging, illness, and the experience of love and loss. With lyrical precision and deep ecological awareness, the book reveals how close attention to nature can offer both solace and a richer understanding of mortality. The result is an intimate, searching meditation on grief, resilience, and the enduring beauty of the living world.
