Susan Tweit

Susan Tweit and Jim Steinberg came to Craig to sign copies of their book. December 2008. Susan will have her memoirs, Walking Nature Home, released in March 2009. It is a beautiful, haunting book. I recommend it.



Walking Nature Home: A Life's Journey (Louann Atkins Temple Women & Culture Series)

Without a map, navigate by the stars. Susan Tweit began learning this lesson as a young woman diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was predicted to take her life in two to five years. Offered no clear direction for getting well through conventional medicine, Tweit turned to the natural world that was both her solace and her field of study as a plant ecologist.

Bookselling etiquette

I visited two bookstore yesterday and was slightly distressed to find that when I asked about a particular book, both clerks checked their computer rather than taking me to the area of the store where the book would have been. Neither store had the book and neither clerk left me standing in a section where I might have found something else. 07-06-08
