This collection of short stories focuses on women in the American West, namely Colorado, who are concerned with environmental degradation while also slogging through the mundanity of their lives. They are daughters, mothers, sisters, nuns, and activists who, amid caregiving and working and praying, take subtle yet powerful risks to protect the natural world they hold dear.
