Deep Creek Finding Hope in the High Country

A brutally honest memoir can be very brave and difficult to read, as this one is, but like this one it can also be beautiful and moving. Houston (who narrated the audio version of her book) has succeeded in making me love the corner of Colorado she's called home for many years, as well as the many animals she has co-habited with along the way. I think I would have preferred to read it on the page, in order to better appreciate the gorgeous prose, but I enjoyed hearing it in her voice.

I actually haven't read any of Pam Houston's other books but I picked this one up because this kind of Nature Feelings Memoir is extremely my jam. (I mention this because throughout the book she talks about people telling her how much some of her other books have mean to them.)

Anyway this is a really beautiful memoir if this kind of thing is your jam, like if you want to cry about a woman writing about crying about narwhals, fuckin pick this up already.
