Provocative from the opening lines, this is a treasure trove of love, loss, humor, and self-discovery amidst the trees and cabins of the Adirondack Mountains: Somewhere around the age of 40, when I should have been deciding if I wanted to take my last chance at having a second child, should have been looking for a good job...

Here is exquisitely detailed narration balanced with sharp insights into modern life in the wilderness. "Bibi Wein offers a lovely and penetrating look into the thickets of the Adirondack woods and of the human heart." --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "The Way Home is a beautifully written, deeply spiritual and disarmingly honest meditation on nature--that found in the glorious out-of-doors as well as that of the infinitely less elegant (and far more exasperating) human being. Think of it as modern-day Walden--a way to sit in an armchair and experience the soul-stirring revelations that are offered when one learns to keep quiet and let the land speak." --Elizabeth Berg, author of The Art of Mending Read Less
