After several successful interventions, including one in Siberia, she has gone into hiding, worried about unintended consequences of her actions, as well as about the ethics of operating solo. But circumstances call her to action again, and an idea takes shape: \u003cem\u003eWhat if she could impart her skill to other people?\u003c\/em\u003e Gathering a few kindred souls from climate-troubled places around the world--Felipe from S o Paulo, where drought conditions are creating strains on day-to-day life; Analu and his daughter Penina from a sinking island in the South Pacific; and Patty from the tornado-ridden plains of Kansas--she takes them to the wilds of Northern New Hampshire where she tries to teach them her skill. The novel, realistic but for the single fantastical element, explores how we might become more attuned to the Earth and act more collaboratively to solve the enormity of our climate problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12530804\"\u003eCai Emmons\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.51w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597093248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597093246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004020\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRon Carlson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eight books of fiction, most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Signal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e His short stories have appeared in \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarper s\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, and other journals, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe O.
