Book description
Cassandra Kircher was in her twenties when she was hired by the National Park Service, landing a life that allowed her to reinvent herself. For four years she collected entrance fees and worked in the dispatch office before being assigned as the first woman to patrol an isolated backcountry district of Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. There, Kircher encountered wonder and beauty, accidents and death. Although she always suspected the mountains might captivate her, she didn't realize that her adopted landscape would give her strength to confront where she was from-both the Midwest that Willa Cather fans will recognize, and a childhood filled with problems and secrets.Divided and defined by geographic and psychological space, Far Flung begins in the Rockies but broadens its focus as Kircher negotiates places as distant as Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Russia's Siberian valleys, and Wisconsin's lake country, always with Colorado as a heartfelt pivot. These thirteen essays depict a woman coming to terms with her adoration for the wilds of the West and will resonate with all of us longing to better understand ourselves and our relationships to the places and people we love most.

Kudos for the thoughtfully curated collections – I'm discovering hidden gems! Thanks for making my daily commute to work enjoyable and engaging! This audiobook was a fantastic listen! The narrator's voice was clear and engaging, making it easy to follow along. The pacing was just right—not too fast, not too slow. Perfect for long commutes or relaxing at home. Highly recommend! Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed.
