A lovely early book by Kingsolver that focuses on the Appalachian forests.
Three threads:
1. A forest ranger interested in preserving the apex predators of the forest. When she meets and falls for a bounty hunter, she is forced to sort out where here loyalties lie.
2. A 28-year-old entomologist who, when her husband dies, she has to sort out a direction for her life.
3. An old conservative codger who is interested in resurrecting the American Chestnut, but has to sort out what role organic farming plays in his quest.
A charming and poetic exploration of human's role in the natural world.
