Produktinformationen zu „Image Lake (ePub)“
Set in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades, Image Lake is a stirring hymn to Nature's grandeur and its unfailing power to awe, sustain, and heal us. The lure of a high-mountain lake surrounded by rugged heights serendipitously brings together four misfits: a beleaguered Indigenous woman for whom Image Lake is sacred; a former backcountry ranger who has tried writing an eco-fiction novel about the area with little success; a New York City lawyer and fixer for a mining company who has broken almost everything and everyone in his path, including himself; and a professor of religious studies who, after thirty-three years of teaching and being the only Black person at every faculty meeting, feels burned out. Together, this unlikely fellowship laments the physical, mental, and spiritual damage that results when we are separated from Nature and from each other. But this unconventional novel is not just unflinchingly pessimistic; it is also resiliently hopeful as it confronts the clash of worldviews, breaks down rigid barriers--the "us vs. them" dichotomy and the "that's not my backyard" mentality--and refuses to let despair be the final word. Image Lake explores what it means to find deep friendship even when the world is falling apart. The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound insight, emotional sensitivity, and a delightful touch of humor. It will leave you with the sense of standing before an impossible task with unexpected energy to take the first step.
