Margaret Renkl's love letter to the world: the story of what we've lost and what we can save and the abundance of wonder in our own backyard. Fifty-two chapters follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over a year. What develops is a portrait of joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.
