Notes
Description
"Faith of Cranes is Lentfer's quiet, lyrical memoir of his home near Glacier Bay, where he reveals a family's simple acts -- planting potatoes, gathering berries, hunting deer -- and a close and eccentric Alaskan community. He shows us how several thousand birds, and one little girl, teach a new father there is no future imaginable that does not leave room for compassion and grace."--P. [4] of cover.
