Descended from the great American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne,
Alison Deming appropriately begins this philosophical autobiography
along the shores of the North Atlantic -- on Grand Manan Island, in
the Bay of Fundy. Moving on to Provincetown, Massachusetts, and
then to Tucson, Arizona, and Paomoho, Hawaii, Deming describes
places that are dear to her because their ways are still shaped by
terms nature has set, though less and less so.
With vivid ideas and passion, Deming writes about the importance
of nature writing for these peripatetic times. Because people's
lives are materially less connected to the natural world, they are
also spiritually less connected. Through the arts -- through the
story of the captain whose boat honors the Kwakiutl "Wild Woman of
the Woods" or the fisherman who sacrifices his catch to save two
whales -- people fall again "into harmony with place and each
other"; they write the sacred into the real.
