{"product_id":"refuge-isbn-9780679740247","title":"Refuge","description":"In the spring of 1983 Terry Tempest Williams learned that her mother was dying of   cancer. That same season, The Great Salt Lake began to rise to record heights, threatening   the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and the herons, owls, and snowy egrets that Williams, a poet and naturalist, had come   to gauge her life by.  One event was nature at its most random, the other a by-product   of rogue technology: Terry's mother, and Terry herself, had been exposed to the fallout   of atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. As it interweaves these narratives of dying and   accommodation, \u003ci\u003eRefuge \u003c\/i\u003etransforms tragedy into a document of renewal and spiritual   grace, resulting in a work that has become a classic.\"There has never been a book like \u003ci\u003eRefuge\u003c\/i\u003e, an entirely original yet tragically common   story, brought exquisitely to life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—San Francisco Chronicle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\"Moving and loving...   both a natural history of an ecological phenomenon [and] a Mormon family saga...
