Touching Earth, Touching Sky
By Trudi Carleton Peek
(Blue Raven Press 2010)

A captivating story about a strong, thirty-eight-year-old Montana woman, revealing her secret thoughts and intimate struggles, her loves and her regrets, all set among the trappings of her everyday life. Meg Halverson’s character and ideals were shaped by her down-to-earth life on her parents’ central Montana wheat-farm. But now, after eighteen years as the wife of a banker and land-developer in a Western Montana university town, life has become a disappointment. Following a devastating tragedy, she strives to understand her new circumstances and retreats to a home nestled on a beautiful, pristine mountainside. Later, as she and her children struggle to make a life there, new people enter her life and with them come new challenges. Meg’s love for the land is a thread that runs throughout this book, speaking volumes about the importance of nature to our human spirit.
