Tales of Ravens Nest: A Life, A Place: Stories and Reflections - Paperback

by Joseph Colwell (Author), Katherine Colwell (Photographer), Constance King (Designed by)

After a career as a wildlife biologist with state and federal agencies, Jake Collins and his artist wife Rachel were content in retirement, living their dream on their own nature preserve in western Colorado. That changed when a young New York City couple entered their lives. Tori and Al knew something was missing from their city existence, asked Jake and Rachel to show them the "real" West, were "adopted" by the childless older couple, and came to share their dream. They changed Ravens Nest, but Jake and Rachel changed them and brought new meaning
to their lives while enhancing the lives of their mentors. Al, a famous writer himself, discovers a treasure trove of writings by Jake: semiautobiographical short stories documenting a life of adventure and love of nature. Share the
laughs, the tears, and the journey as Tori and Al learn the meaning of dreams and creativity of Ravens Nest. Then think about your own life and place.
