Summary:
"McCue makes the persuasive and poetic case that rural life might be one answer to the environmental ills brought by our consumptive, thoughtless and relentlessly destructive society. While Iowa is not known for its nature writing, McCue's lovely book might change that!" --Carolyn Raffensperger, Executive Director of the Science and Environmental Health Network.
