Pieces of Light

Explore the world of urban nature in this journal-style memoir of a year in Boulder, Colorado, a city known for its striking setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Much more than a starry-eyed paean to nature's wonders, Pieces of Light is a 'journey of the heart,' where Tweit's year is spent reaffirming her bonds, healing her spirit, and settling her young family into a powerfully alluring landscape - until they must move away for work in a distant state. New author's notes at the end of each chapter update the story, considered a classic of urban nature writing.
