Description:
"My home is the vast, open landscape of south-central Idaho, at once a sanctuary, a source of strength, and a heartache", writes Diane Josephy Peavey in the introduction to Bitterbrush Country. Her words echo the paradox that many westerners feel about life in the West, the most eagerly developed landscape in America. But in place of nostalgia, polemic, or expose as a response to this voraciousness, Peavey describes from ground level what it's like to be a rancher and an environmentalist, to love a place still shaped by generational communities and rolling hills.
Expand description
In a mosaic of essays, Peavey shares both her visceral joys in the land and her fears about losing a rural western way of life. From delighting in the arrival of blooming bitterbrush and cooking "gormay" on a sheep run, to mourning the loss of neighbors unable to hold on to family farms and ranches, Peavey tells a deeply personal story of her chosen home.
