When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice Williams Terry Tempest
NATIONAL BESTSELLERA Kansas City Star Best Book of the YearBrilliant, meditative, and full of surprises, wisdom, and wonder.--Ann Lamott, author of Imperfect BirdsI am leaving you all my journals, but you must promise me you won't look at them until after I'm gone. It was a shock to Williams to discover that her mother had kept journals.

In fifty-four short chapters, Williams recounts memories of her mother, ponders her own faith, and contemplates the notion of absence and presence art and in our world.When Women Were Birds is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope that keeps turning around the question: But not as much of a shock as it was to discover that the three shelves of journals were all blank.
