Terry Tempest Williams on "When Women Were Birds"

Read the books of Terry Tempest Williams and you'll keep circling back to a common theme:  the mystery at the heart of our love for the natural world and the people closest to us.  "When Women Were Birds" is Terry's lifelong quest to understand her mother, who was a very private woman and a bit of a trickster.  It's also an exploration of silence and finding one's voice.
