Trebble Johnson neither hides from pain nor romanticizes joy. In the distinctive voice for which she is known, she explores how the true value of a sacred site is not always where we think it is, how a motorcycle ride upended a fear of desire, how it’s possible to make friends with a clear-cut forest, and other pieces that bring startling new perspectives to things we often take for granted. These sixteen essays not only chart one woman’s journey through a passionate life, they inspire all of us to open up to the marvels that are waiting to reveal themselves.
