Thanks so much much to Rosaliene Bacchus for this thoughtful review.
"Mother Earth clamors to be heard. All is not well. Our individual beliefs and alternate realities mean nothing in the grand scheme of our collective lives. If we are to avert climate and environmental disaster, we must connect with each other and with the other living beings with whom we share this planet. Doing so with grace is a good place to start."
