Fundamentalism meets deep ecology in Brenda Peterson's new memoir. This rather dark, divine comedy of family and conflicting faiths uses humor to defuse dogma -- whether it is religious or environmental. Acclaimed novelist and nature writer, Peterson takes on human nature and what she calls a spiritual ecology that is as concerned with saving the earth as well as our own souls. She paints such a hilarious, loving portrait of each world that we will all want to be Left Behind. "
If we listened to the animals we might better understand and hear our earth -- and also prepare ourselves for when the earthquakes speak so loudly.
