A riveting story that seeks out to find the balance in life - between spring and winter, sheep and cattle, men and women, life and death. Follow Ehrlich as she takes you into the glaring jaws of survival in the wilderness, both that of Wyoming as well as the dark recesses of the psyche. While almost anyone can read this book, the true underlying meanings may be difficult to grasp for some. She portrays her truths with such vivid imagery and stark, austere honesty that the book likens more to poetry than anything else. It's a beautiful tale, poignant and brutally realistic yet fantastical all at once. A challenging read, but more than worth it!
