A review by emileereadsbooks
Miracle Country by Kendra Atleework
4.0
Thank you to Algonquin Books for my free copy!
This book is not only a memoir of Atleework's time growing up in the Owens Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, but a reflection on the region's history. She weaves the historical elements into her family's story with beautiful prose. I learned so much about this portion of our country that is so out of my orbit and was interested to see how Atleework pulled all the story stands together to weave this narrative. Readers who love contemplative memoir will devour this book.
