In her new essay collection, the author of “High Tide in Tucson” pens a love song to our world. This comes even from a dark historic moment. She contemplates various subjects such as the Grand Canyon, her garden, and motherhood. Other topics include genetic engineering and the future of a nation built on our finest impulses.
These essays root in her belief that our biggest problems come from far and near. Solutions might be hidden in both these places. The tone varies from serious, occasionally hilarious, to persuasive. “Small Wonder” offers a hopeful inspection of our current human condition and potential transformation.
