More about the book
The book combines a poignant memoir of the author's mother's battles with Alzheimer's and cancer, alongside reflections on his own experiences in nature. It delves into the Christian "via negativa," a mystical path that finds God in silence beyond words. Rejecting superficial spiritual affirmations, the author explores the deeper, often harsher truths that wilderness reveals about life and faith. Accompanied by photographs, it offers a thoughtful meditation on suffering, spirituality, and the transformative power of nature.
