Field Notes is White's map back to finding herself following the untimely death of her young husband. She rediscovers her bearings amid the everyday drama of nature-the shadowy company of a moose, an unbridled chorus of crows, the persistence of a young family of raccoons. "These animals cheer me, so determined and knowing as they go from one task to another. A map of the territory in their animal brains. They know what they're here for," she observes. "After Steve's death, I lost that sense of orientation. I wasn't sure anymore who I was."
Her journey through loss will resonate with individuals experiencing grief, providing inspiration and reassurance along the way.
