To the horror of her traditional, ethnic family, she divorces her husband of fifteen years, dusts off her wildlife biology degree, and flees to Moose, Wyoming for a job at Grand Teton National Park. In these rugged mountains, unexpected lessons from nature and wildlife guide her journey as she creates a new life for herself. Set against the dramatic backdrop and quirky culture of Jackson Hole, this beautifully written memoir is a thoughtful, often humorous account of a woman's bumbling quest for purpose, redemption, and love through wilderness adventure, solitude, and offbeat human connections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67955217400031,"sku":"9780762791347","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/hWWNbw1uKD9780762791347.webp?v=1791647486"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/mary-beth-baptiste.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
