In this remarkable collection of essays, Stephen Harrigan explores, with an unfailing depth of feeling, the human longing to feel at home in the world of nature. In vivid and convincing prose, he evokes the landscape of his home territory, Texas, and his own reactions, sometimes droll, sometimes haunted, to the extraordinary power of place that Texas projects.
A contributing editor of Texas Monthly magazine, Stephen Harrigan is also the author of Water and Light: A Diver's Journey to a Coral Reef and Aransas.
