Who is raising whom? Raising his daughters in Nevada's Great Basin Desert, Michael Branch takes their innocent questions about life and nature and runs with them to create unique essays about all sorts of things, from pronghorns to the Pleiades and living life in the wild. His thoughtful questions and research bring us light-hearted, well-formed essays.Publisher description:
Michael Branch built his home on a remote hilltop in the Great Basin Desert of northwestern Nevada, a wild and extreme landscape where he lives with his wife and two curious little girls. Moving between pastoral passages on the beauty found in the desert and humorous tales of the humility of being a father, Raising Wild offers an intimate portrait of a landscape where mountain lions and ground squirrels can threaten in equal measure.
