I Just finished this gorgeous book! Thank you for this Gift!
It is beautifully written, incredibly open hearted, and very inspiring!
I’ve been completely engrossed! I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been uplifted! It’s been an awaking for me! Encouraging me to want to learn more about my own self and my own inner wild!
I want to live more freely, shed, forgive, sow seeds, plant roots and walk my own path more in tune with nature, my connections with this magnificent earth, and other wonderfully wild women!
Thank you!

A stunning book that I have already returned to more than once. Beautiful to look at but even more lovely, is the companionship felt in these pages. Kelly’s weaving of person story, folklore and landscape descriptions bring you on a pilgrimage of homecoming. The guides and prompts at the end of each section made me feel like I was holding a field guide to reclaiming my wild wise self. I hope there are many more books to come from this author!

This was a book I read late into the night- tho I agree it would be better suited to reading outdoors on a sunny day! A beautiful and compelling read. Kelly invites us onto her beloved mountains where you can almost taste the clear air. She shares her journey with past hurt in such a delicate and moving way. My heart broke for her, yet this book is woven together in such a way that it feels very hope-filled and redemptive. And you will feel the call to get out to a mountain!

This is definitely my favourite book this year!
Not only it looks beautiful and magic happens when light hits the cover it also is so real.
So many stories I could relate to, so many beautiful words that give you hope….and it makes me want to put my hiking boots and go and be in the nature.
I’ve read it within a day! And with stunning weather I read it outside and felt like its were this book belong …that words should be read while birds are singing and sun is shining.
Story of a womanhood, healing and beautiful connection to world around us. All through four seasons, showing you that there is a time for being active and time to slow down… I am certain that I will go back to this book many times and especially while in Mournes mountains.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. Beautiful work and I hope more to come!
