Resumen:
Out of the Woods: A Memoir of Wayfinding :
When her college-bound daughter leaves home, Lynn Darling, widowed more than a decade earlier, finds herself alone and utterly lost, with no idea what she wants or even who she is. Searching for answers, she moves to a cranky little house in the Vermont woods, her only companions, a new dog and a compass. There she hopes to develop a sense of direction - both in the woods and in her life.
Told with rare insight, wry humor, and remarkable honesty, Out of the Woods reveals how honing the skills of navigation - literal and metaphorical - smoothed one woman's path. It is a story at once universal and deeply personal - in the words of writer Geraldine Brooks, "both a compass and a manifesto for navigating the often-treacherous switchbacks of the second half of life."
