Pieces of Light: A Year on Colorado's Front Range

Explore the world of urban nature in this award-winning, journal-style memoir of a year in Boulder, Colorado, a city known for its striking setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Much more than a starry-eyed paean to nature’s wonders, Pieces of Light is a “journey of the heart,” where Tweit's year is spent reaffirming her bonds, healing her spirit, and settling her young family into a powerfully alluring landscape - until they must move away for work in a distant state. Bloomsbury Review hailed Pieces of Light as “a book to be taken up on a rainy afternoon or a snowy night, a book to be immediately absorbed by, to delight in for years.” New author’s notes at the end of each chapter update the story, considered a classic of urban nature writing.
