In This We Are Native

Smith unflinchingly tells of her young husband's final year. After an unsuccessful attempt to break into the movies in Hollywood, they return to Montana's Blackfoot River Valley just in time. His death left her with four sons to raise alone. But this is a glorious celebration, transcending grief. Annick Smith regales us with the joys of Huckleberry gathering, the stealth of the mountain lion, and the immense satisfaction of the intimacy with wildlands.
