In essays both personal and profoundly universal, Richman eschews quick and easy answers for quiet reflections on the questions: In a culture demanding that every voice be heard, how do we make sense of the resulting roar? Where do we seek solace when the last quiet places are sacrificed to human hubris? How do we shed the angst thrust upon us to create lives of peace? In these wide-ranging personal essays, Richman travels interior roads through fear, kindness, ignorance, darkness, wildness, compassion, solitude, loneliness, and more-always asking how external geography informs our internal geography. Moving through the settings of her life-red rock canyons, aspen forests, mountains, and cities-Jana Richman probes the depths of her internal landscape and asks how we can find stillness in our noisy world.
