Reflecting on the sudden loss of a close friend, author Jen Payne returns to the solace of nature. On the opening pages, she allows the poet Rilke to remind the reader, “Through the empty branches the sky remains. / It is what you have. / Be earth now, and evensong. / Be the ground lying under that sky.” Written from the shoreline of Connecticut and the wide and windswept beaches of Cape Cod, this book is an intimate look at life transitions and how we cope with the unexpected.
