Acerca de esta escucha
"How do we become who we are in the world? We ask the world to teach us."
On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the Earth, the ranch most of all. Alongside her devoted Irish wolfhounds and a spirited troupe of horses, donkeys, and Icelandic sheep, the ranch becomes Houston’s sanctuary, a place where she discovers how the natural world has mothered and healed her after a childhood of horrific parental abuse and neglect.
In essays as lucid and invigorating as mountain air, Deep Creek delivers Houston’s most profound meditations yet on how "to live simultaneously inside the wonder and the grief...to love the damaged world and do what I can to help it thrive."

November 1958: the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Into the rarefied atmosphere of wealth and tradition comes the most unlikely of horses - a drab white former plow horse named Snowman - and his rider, Harry de Leyer. They were the longest of all longshots - and their win was the stuff of legend.

Historia
For years Charlie Burrell and his wife, Isabella Tree, farmed Knepp Castle Estate and struggled to turn a profit. By 2000, with the farm facing bankruptcy, they decided to try something radical. They would restore Knepp’s 3,500 acres to the wild. Using herds of free-roaming animals to mimic the actions of the megafauna of the past, they hoped to bring nature back to their depleted land. But what would the neighbors say, in the manicured countryside of modern England where a blade of grass out of place is considered an affront?

Historia
After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own.

Historia
In 2009, after a divorce that left her heartbroken and directionless, Kristin decided to accept an offer to live at a friend's cabin outside of Denali National Park in Alaska for a few months. In exchange for housing, she would take care of her friend's eight sled dogs. That winter, she learned that she was tougher than she ever knew. She learned how to survive in one of the most remote places on Earth and she learned she was strong enough to be alone. She fell in love twice: first with running sled dogs, and then with Andy, a man who had moved to Alaska to heal a broken heart.

Historia
Relationships and extreme adventures collide with deadpan humor and female wisdom in Pam Houston's transcendent follow-up to her bestselling Cowboys Are My Weakness. Through eleven interlinked stories, we follow roving photographer Lucy O'Rourke as she survives a home life where her parents engage in rather peculiar feeding rites for the family cat in a "title story that deserves to be anthologized into eternity" (The Washington Post Book World), a near-drowning on a white water rafting trip, and a grand cayman attack in the Amazon.

Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

Historia
Once again, John Gierach tells the world why the pastime of fly-fishing makes so much sense—except when it doesn't. In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he's been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierach's latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

Historia
While most of us fly-fish to escape from daily life, for John Gierach and his friends fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective, bitingly humorous, and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. In vivid, unforgettable detail they recount the emotional, spiritual, and tangible adventures and pleasures of stalking trout in and around the Rockies—day in, day out, from season to season, with friends, and alone.

Nine wholesome university students mountaineering in the Urals go missing, and are later uncovered from the snows of a bleak forest's edge in the Siberian Taiga, in a series of grisly discoveries. Why were the climbers wearing no boots? Why were stout branches of the forest pines singed to a height of 30 feet? What were the mysterious markings in the bark of nearby trees? What was so-called "overwhelming force" that was capable of breaking eight ribs in a single blow without bruises?

The most beautiful book I’ve ever read
Deep Creek is the most beautiful book I’ve ever had the joy of listening to. It’s early to make this call, but it might be my favorite book of 2019. I can’t imagine topping it.
It’s a beautiful memoir of Colorado, whales, dogs, wildfire, love, and loss. It’s brought me to my tears and stopped me in my tracks time and time again. Please read it.

Deeply personal
I love this book. I have been wanting to read Pam’s books ever since my dear friends brought me to Creede, Co with my husband for the first time, more than 10 years ago and my friend lent us her books. Everything is as she says it is in Creede, the people are wonderful (including the soreheads), the life difficult and the land breathtaking. The mayor has changed, the mountain belle is owned by a foreign entity and someone has tried to change this wonderful place. I’m grateful Pam did what she did and feel a kindred spirit and although we have never met our national forests are only demarcated by the Continental divide.

One of the best Audible books!
This book is excellent. I finished it in a few days & look forward to reading more of her work. If you love animals, especially dogs, and nature and persistent women,this book if for you. Cheryl Strayed is one of my favorite authors & it turns out she & Pam Houston are good friends. You can feel the honesty in this book the way you feel it in Wild. Her chapter about Fenton was one of the best I have ever read about loving & losing a dog. Highly recommend this book!

a beautiful love letter
beautiful, heart breaking story of Pam's life, including an abusive childhood, wild 20s and settling onto ranch life - balanced with a lot of world travel - in her 30s and beyond. love her respect for mother nature and the way she beautifully weaves stories together to create a greater narrative about the alarming condition of our planet and the love that is still abundant, from it and for it.

Heart opening
I LOVED this book!!!
I have been trying to find a good soul-touching book for a few months now on Audible and this one just tipped my world upside down. If you have ever loved a dog, a horse, or just nature in general, or want to, this book will make your heart sing. Make you want to hug your dog, go for a walk, go camping. I cried multiple times just at how beautifully Pam Houston worded things, and how relatable this book is. If I could give it 10000 stars I would.

More Memoir and Less Report Reading
I loved Pam Houston’s willingness to share her story. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you and to appreciate the world around me more. I didn’t love the many minutes of reading logs written by the forest service or historical documents. More memoir and less report reading please.

I so enjoyed this book read by the author herself. It was so good and I’ve not read (listened) to one this good in a long long while. I have a deep respect for the author and the way Pam Houston writes. I look forward to reading more from her.

Amazing!
I don't often write reviews for novels but this book has changed me so profoundly. Pam Houston articulates resilience through her own experience and what she witnesses in nature and on the ranch. Be prepared, this book will make you crack up at times and leave you sobbing at others.
