A mother’s cancer. A cousin’s death. Left alone on his grandparents’ farm, feelings of abandonment as his single mother struggled and fought for her life-with her passing on August 31, 2015.
John Brogan recounts these struggles as he sought to cope and find solace, strength, and self-renewal in nature. From his experiences on his grandparents’ farm as a young boy to his many travels and hikes as a young adult through some of the most beautiful and challenging ecosystems-such as Arches National Park and White Mountain National Forest, where he climbed Mt. Washington-we journey with him as he becomes immeasurably enriched by immersing himself in the natural environments around him. These are inspiring stories that should motivate seekers of self-renewal to revel in the beauty and healing qualities of the natural world.
