(Book)

Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, Houston has explored what ties her to the earth. On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, Houston learned what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it.

The ranch becomes Houston's sanctuary, and now she shares meditations on how "to love the damaged world and do what I can to help it thrive. -- Page [4] cover.
