Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country by Pam Houston

5.0

To say I loved this book would be an injustice done to both it and its author. It might even be my favorite book yet. I have no idea why I hadn’t read it sooner, only picking it up in the Ouray Bookshop on one of my many visits to the area I love best: Southwest Colorado. Sometimes I have to explain to people why I love it there so very much, why I have a picture I took off Highway 550 near Silverton tattooed on my arm along with a slew of splashing aspen leaves, and when I do from now on, I’ll be recommending this book. Pam is clearly an especially talented writer, but also an especially keen empath. I needed this book. It’s even inspired me to pick up my writing again. Please, just read it.
