From the Back Cover:
In This We Are Native couples a passionate argument for saving the wilderness with a breathtaking memoir of love and loss and rebirth. Smith looks back unflinchingly to tell of her young husband’s final year. His death left her with four sons to raise alone. And now, decades later, she eloquently mourns her beloved valley when it is brutally clear-cut by corporate logging.
But it is Smith’s gift that In This We Are Native is a glorious celebration of life transcending grief in language exacting and unsentimental. “Here is a woman to admire and love,” Annie Dillard wrote of the author. In a voice clear and true, Smith invites us to share her intimacy with wildlands. She rejoices in the preciousness of lovers and family, the gift of travel, and the deep contentment of growing old in a place you love.
