Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss

Growing up in Alabama, Renkl was a reader, an explorer of nature, and a beloved daughter. In the form of essays, she shares a tender and honest portrait of her parents – her creative mother and her practical father – and her journey from loving daughter to patient caregiver. She also offers observations of the world and of nature in her suburband Nashville home. Full of rapture and heartache, these essays speak of the dignity of blue birds and monarch butterflies. Renkl reminds us that there is astonishment to be found in small things we see every day. For in both worlds – the natural one and our own – “the shadow side of love is always loss, and grief is only love’s own twin.”
