Like it's sister book, LEANING INTO THE WIND, this book really spoke to me. It's a collection of writing that explores ideas of the various ways friendship manifests itself among women living in the west. It's written by a variety of women all who have lived in the west and uses sagebrush as a metaphor for female friendships.

This book made me laugh and cry because the stories touched me. They reminded me of my childhood spent in Wyoming, and the friends I still have from that period of my life. It made me miss home and the sagebrush. It made me think about my mom, sister, aunts and grandmothers. It reminded me how much my family and my western roots mean to me. It made me miss snowy winters and wood stoves, wildlife and the smell of sagebrush after a thunderstorm. Most of all it made me miss the mountains and the west.

I love that because I am a woman of the west, the stories in this book are somehow a part of me.
