I purchased this book not knowing anything prior about it or the author, Robert Treuer. I found the book to be thoroughly enjoyable and hard to put down. I have had it for less than a year and have already read it twice. I highly recommend the book for anyone who is a nature lover, has strong family values, or has ever dreamed of (or experienced) living in the country.

A gentle flow of beautiful words and thought, all coming together to expose his wonderful view on human and natures life. I will never look at trees, tree farms and those who create and manage them the same again. Treuer has given me new loves--life and the time we borrow our space, and nature. Treuer has surely connected with nature. I recommend it most highly.
