Joan Easton Lentz, a prolific author on birds and natural history of the region, shares with her readers the greatest adventure and challenge of all-continuing to pursue her passion, while living with a life-threatening disease. This is not a story of grief and remorse, but of a person pursuing what she wants with humor, careful alterations, and blessed support. Her pages talk to you as a friend, and her comments and journals both inspire and strengthen your admiration for a woman who will end her life's journey doing the two things she loves most: birding and writing.
