FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVES

If you couldn't save the world, she'd written, you should still save whatever you could, words she still lived by.

When Lainey Miller's dad began believing in lizard people who sought world domination, her mom decided that Lainey needed to be a person who believed in verifiable data. So began a lifelong pursuit and love of science, of the beauty of the natural world and its wildlife.

Through her work, Lainey finds stillness in a world humming with change, a world that she believes - despite the constant news cycle of destruction and cruelty - has an infinite capacity for kindness. A love letter to community, to learning, and to life itself, Karen Joy Fowler's new novella points towards the glimmer of hope on the horizon, urging us to stay for the view.
