À propos de cette écoute
"How do we become who we are in the world? We ask the world to teach us."
On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all. Alongside her devoted Irish wolfhounds and a spirited troupe of horses, donkeys, and Icelandic sheep, the ranch becomes Houston’s sanctuary, a place where she discovers how the natural world has mothered and healed her after a childhood of horrific parental abuse and neglect.
In essays as lucid and invigorating as mountain air, Deep Creek delivers Houston’s most profound meditations yet on how "to live simultaneously inside the wonder and the grief...to love the damaged world and do what I can to help it thrive."

Beautiful
I am grateful to writer Mary L. Tabor who suggested I read Pam Houston. What a gift. I didn't expect, when I bought this book, to be confronted with the way my own mother raised me. It was unexpected but strengthened me in so many ways. Survival and hope are the two words that come to mind if I had to describe Pam Houston's book. Survival of the earth and ourselves which can only be achieved if we surround ourselves with the right people and not be afraid of stepping out of our comfort zones even when the odds seemed stacked up against us. It's this that I received from this beautifully written book.
