This is the true story of Terry Tempest Williams and she juxtapositions the rise of the Great Salt Lake with her mothers reoccurrence of breast cancer and her mormonism. She very much describes herself as an ecofeminist and worries what will happen to the many migrating birds who flock to the Great Salt Lake every year when it floods the plains or dries up altogether.

She balances each of the 3 subjects nicely against the other, forming a chain of thought that makes this book worth reading.
