by Kathryn Winograd (Author)
"When I first saw it, when at last the bear of my girlhood unlocked itself from the stone shadows and I could see the fine frosted hairs of its crooked dog legs, I could not leave it." From forest fires to mountain lions, Ohio farm to Colorado cabin, violation to silence to reclamation, Kathryn Winograd draws keep attention to the details that braid her own history with that of the land on which she dwells, with her husband, daughters-anyone who has experienced loss and fought for renewal. Her collection of lyrical personal essays becomes a ring of concentric circles-one essay builds upon the next to achieve deeper meaning and truth, revealing, at the center, mercy.
