Fiction. Literature. HTML:

Carol Dunbar, drawing from her own lived experiences, vividly describes the wonder and harshness of life off the grid. Told over the course of a year, The Net Beneath Us is a lyrical exploration of loss, marriage, parenthood, and self-reliance; a tale of how the natural worldâ??without and within usâ??offers us healing, if we can learn where to look.
"Dunbar delivers both a tumble through the shifting light of grief, and a forgiving forest floor on which to land."
â??Leif Enger, New York Times bestselling author of Peace Like a River and Virgil Wander

He promised her he would never let go. She's willing to risk everything to hold on.
In the aftermath of her husband's logging accident, Elsa has more questions than answers about how to carry on while caring for their two small children in the unfinished house he was building for them in the woods of rural Wisconsin. To cope with the challenges of winter and the near-daily miscommunications from her in-laws, she forges her own relationship with the land, learning from and taking comfort in the trees her husband had so loved. If she wants to stay in their home, she must discover her own capabilities, and accept help from the people and places she least expects.
A Macmillan Audio production from Forge Books.

This is one of those rare books that will mesmerize you with lyrical prose and yet also keep you turning the pages. Oh, and be ready, because here's a promise: it will make you cry, too. I wouldn't recommend taking it on a plane unless you're cool with public sobbing.

The story of Elsa losing her center and then finding her way back is both heartbreaking and hopeful. It's not to sort of book that would ever have a sequel, but it will leave you wishing you could peek back in on the characters in a few years, to visit them and make sure they're doing well. Hester, in particular. It's also the kind of book (similar to Peace Like a River and Mama Day, for me) that inspires me to always keep a few extra copies so I can give them away to people I know will treasure the story.
