"With her first book, Regan announced herself as a writer whose extravagant, unconventional talents matched her abilities as a lauded chef. In her follow-up, she digs even deeper to express the meaning and beauty we seek in the landscapes, and stories, that reveal the forces which inform, shape, and nurture our lives"-- Provided by publisher
On her family's farm in rural Indiana, Regan's father treated her like the son he never had, and together they foraged for mushrooms, berries, herbs, and other wild food in the surrounding countryside. Her parents shared family stories with her. Here she examines how family binds us to the land, and how the land illuminates and enriches our family ties. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Regan and her partner explored the ancient landscape of Michigan's boreal forest, even as surrounding parcels of land are suddenly and violently decimated by logging crews that obliterate plant life and drive away the area's birds. She struggled with the threat of COVID, and also with her personal and familial legacies of addiction, violence, fear, and obsession. Her book is an impassioned exploration of our natural environment, and her vision of how humans can find a more sustainable balance with the natural world. -- adapted from jacket
