“Simply one of the best collections I’ve read in years.” — ANDREW X. PHAM, author, Eaves of Heaven: A Life in Three Wars and Catfish and Mandala

“A powerful collection of stories about connections to the wild and necessary land, rivers, and creatures around us . . . [and] also a beautiful meditation on the human heart and our essential connections to each other.” — Julian Hoffman, author of The Small Heart of Things

“Lawton’s beautifully rendered and accessible stories make you want to move quickly from beginning to end, but I urge you—savor the journey. Breathe in the spirit of each new place.” — PAGE LAMBERT, author, In Search of Kinship and Shifting Stars
