Collection of essays speak to urgent need to protect wild spaces

In Idaho’s Salmon River Mountains, a woman unknowingly begins what will become a journey of understanding. Haunted by personal loss and the complex history of western America, she seeks beauty and understanding at alpine lakes, beside wild rivers, on trails and with her dogs.

Among granite peaks and endangered animals, she confronts the challenges and awe of nature, the ethics of hunting, the past, an uncertain future and the depths of her own being. Navigating physical and emotional landscapes, she grapples with questions of identity, belonging and the delicate balance between humanity and the wild.

In “Salmon Weather,” CMarie Fuhrman presents more than a personal narrative. This collection of essays is a powerful call for environmental awareness, the feminine, understanding of history, and a celebration of beauty. Fuhrman examines the complexities of history, the sacredness of land and the urgent need to protect our wild spaces with unflinching honesty. These essays will resonate with anyone who has found refuge in nature, wrestled with the past or dared to envision a brighter tomorrow.
