A wealthy family who had a tragic loss two years before comes to the rescue of three children whose lives seem to have been ignored for most of their young lives. Two young girls living an unimaginable life in the darkness of a small barn behind their mother's house to avoid their drunken stepfather have only one thing: the faith that God will intercede on their behalf. Both girls are beaten, starved, cold, and so completely alone. The elder sister, Sara, is dying before her sister's eyes, who

First published in 1945, this biography won the Pulitzer Prize in 1946. Its author worked for twenty-two years on John Muir, including as secretary of the John Muir Association and as editor of Muir’s unpublished papers. She interviewed many family members and people who knew and worked with John Muir to produce this account of Muir’s life. She recounts Muir’s Scottish origins, his early years in the harsh Wisconsin wilderness, his remarkable mechanical aptitude and interest in botany and geology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison where he spent two and a half years before traveling to the Canadian wilderness, and then to California where he spent most of his life. “[A] well-balanced, informative and rewarding biography.” — Kirkus Reviews “Into this biography of John Muir, Mrs. Wolfe has packed an amazing amount of factual information which she has illuminated with a sober critical judgment that gives us a convincing portrait of the whole man.” — Francis P. Farquhar, Pacific Historical Review “Linnie Marsh Wolfe almost singlehandedly restored John Muir to the respectability and stature he always deserved... [Son of the Wilderness] should be on the reference shelves of anyone seriously interested in American environmental history.” — John Opie, Environmental History Review “[A]n interesting personal biography... [Wolfe] creates Muir as a living personality — mystical but athletic, enthusiastic about nature but socially abrupt — a sort of middle-aged Thoreau.” — Alexander Kern, Journal of American History “By immersing herself in Muir’s life, for example, by soaking in his correspondence and journals, [Wolfe] was able to craft what amounts to a first-person narrative, the autobiography he never wrote for himself.” — Char Miller, John Muir Newsletter

Lyrical words and elegant woodcuts capture the quiet beauty of the forest as day fades to night and autumn gives way to the North Woods winter While we are tucked in, snug in warm blankets as we listen to bedtime stories, the woods around us whisper another tale. As the golden leaves waft through the lengthening shadows, the loon sings one last lullaby, the whirring hummingbird takes one last sip, the industrious beaver saws one last branch for her lodge. Here, in enchanting words and woodcuts, is the magic of night falling and winter approaching in the North Woods. Hush Hush, Forest peers through twilight’s window at the raccoon preening, the doe and fawn bedding down, the last bat of the season flitting away. The owl surveys, the rabbit scurries, the bear hunkers, readying her den. Marking the rhythm between the falling leaf and the falling snowflake, picturing the rituals of creatures big and small as they prepare for the long winter’s sleep, this charming book captures a time of surpassing wonder for readers of all ages—and bids everyone in the hushed forest a peaceful good night.

“The children and nature movement is fueled by this fundamental idea: the child in nature is an endangered species, and the health of children and the health of the Earth are inseparable.” —Richard Louv, from the new edition In his landmark work Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv brought together cutting-edge studies that pointed to direct exposure to nature as essential for a child’s healthy physical and emotional development. Now this new edition updates the growing body of evidence linking the lack of nature in children’s lives and the rise in obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Louv’s message has galvanized an international back-to-nature campaign to “Leave No Child Inside.” His book will change the way you think about our future and the future of our children. “[The] national movement to ‘leave no child inside’ . . . has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grass-roots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day. . . . The increased activism has been partly inspired by a best-selling book, Last Child in the Woods, and its author, Richard Louv.” —The Washington Post “Last Child in the Woods, which describes a generation so plugged into electronic diversions that it has lost its connection to the natural world, is helping drive a movement quickly flourishing across the nation.” —The Nation’s Health “This book is an absolute must-read for parents.” —The Boston Globe Now includes A Field Guide with 100 Practical Actions We Can Take Discussion Points for Book Groups, Classrooms, and Communities Additional Notes by the Author New and Updated Research from the U.S. and Abroad

"A deeply moving remembrance ... of the privations and delights of growing up in rural northern New Mexico." -The Albuquerque Journal "Get saddled up and ready for the best fire-side book of the season." -Shakti Yogi Journal "A profound memoir, eloquently and extravagantly told." -Edward Khmara, Emmy-Nominated Writer, Actor, and Producer Out of the counterculture movement of the sixties arises a true story about risking it all for true freedom. Folk singer Jerry Gallaway and ex-ballet dancer Reva Lynn Gallaway leave behind a life of opportunity and fame to raise a family in the woods of northern New Mexico. For six children born in the wild with no birth certificates, no worldly identity, only the song of nature printed on them at birth, the woods became a place of learning and a place of refuge, until tragedy uprooted their foundation, leaving the youngsters split between two worlds. When forced to choose for themselves, would they live in nature with their parents, or seek a new life in society? Chloe Rachel Gallaway is the soulful child, bringing us the healing power of the wild through her photographic memories, authentic voice, and a tale of modern-day warriors and free thinkers carrying in their hearts an essential message about the priceless gifts of Mother Nature, her cycles of life and loss, and the transformative power of forgiveness. _____________ What fellow authors and writers are saying: "Gallaway does not just tell us, she makes us feel the love and the anger as we are drawn deeply into the life of this soulful child, entranced and embraced by wild nature, yet needing to understand the reality of the wider human world. It is a story ... about hope, love and resilience, and about freeing the spirit by learning to forgive." -Edward Khmara, Emmy-Nominated Writer, Actor, and Producer "[Chloe's] descriptions penetrate the very core of your heart and soul, making you wonder if she was sent here from another planet to convey a message of hope in a chaotic world." -Marcie Martinez, NaturesPresence.net "Thoreau said, 'Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?' Chloe's memoir gifts that miracle to readers. ... We see the tethers of family ties strained to the breaking point by the passionate will of a headstrong father whose way of life was inspired by Emerson and Thoreau and who later lived by the words of the Bible." -Emily Rodavich, Author Mystical Interludes: An Ordinary Person's Extraordinary Experiences "I think many of us have thought at some point, 'What if I just took off and lived in the woods?' Well, this story is the answer to that 'what if.' ... Our humanity heals from sharing its stories, as Gallaway has done." -Shareshten Senior, Shakti Yogi Journal "[Chloe] is a gifted storyteller with the ability to captivate all the senses. ... We feel her connection to the earth, to the animals, and to her family. We join her in wanting to make new connections with others. We experience her struggle through tragedy and the unknown. Then we triumph as she connects with herself." -Yvonne Williams Casaus, Author, A Drop of Water: A Spiritual Journey "A profound and unique story of a wild-child in the backcountry, coping and thriving amidst the challenges of nature and family, trying to find her place in life. [Chloe] opens her soul for us, and while we are brought into her unconventional world, our own heart cracks open and we understand more about ourselves. This is a book that explores many of the questions that make us human and leaves us drifting back to images of nature, animals and an innocent heart. ... This is a memoir written with love and honesty that will stay with you as you travel your own path, seeking a life worth living." -Joy Silha, Business Writer, Lifestyle Writer, and Rese
