    Summary:

    A memoir about abandoning an exhausting commuter lifestyle to move to a cabin in the woods, embracing imperfection while cultivating a life of care for self and nature. Alice Irene Whittaker interviews dozens of people who are finding ways to care for the earth -- farmers, sustainable fashion advocates, activists, carpenters, biologists -- and draws inspiration and hope from what she learns.
