New York: Pantheon, 1994. First Edition. Signed presentation copy from Gretel Ehrlich to R & B singing duo, Peaches & Herb, inscribed by the author: “For Peaches & Herb, Warmest wishes, Gretel Ehrlich. June 21, 1994.” Near fine copy with some slight dampstaining to the cloth at the bottom of the spine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket with some slight dampstaining to the interior at the bottom of the spine. The fascinating story of Ms. Ehrlich’s experience of being struck by lightning and her recovery.
Sinopse
A powerful chronicle of a wounded woman’s exploration of nature and self After nature writer Gretel Ehrlich was struck by lightning near her Wyoming ranch and almost died, she embarked on a painstaking and visionary journey back to the land of the living. With the help of an extraordinary cardiologist and the companionship of her beloved dog Sam, she avidly explores the natural and spiritual world to make sense of what happened to her. We follow as she combs every inch of her new home on the California coast, attends a convention of lightning-strike victims, and goes on a seal watch in Alaska. Ehrlich then turns her focus inward, exploring the tiny but equally fascinating ecosystem of the human heart, and culminated in a stunningly beautiful description of open-heart surgery.
