I was cautiously optimistic about this "revised and expanded" edition. And though I did find some insightful research and creative, useful explanations that I hadn't seen elsewhere, I sadly also found some of the same egregious blaming, shaming, and ...more

I am not diabetic. I had originally purchased this book to support a friend, figuring I’d skim it and then pass it on. However, within the first few pages I was hooked by Haskins’ down-to-earth, compassionate, self-deprecating, and insightful writing ...more

“Sometimes, I am the beast in the darkness. Sometimes, I am the ghost.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“That little owl with a call as steady as my heartbeat was telling anyone who would listen, ‘I am here.’ We were listening. We’re listening still.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“In reaching for stone, wood, water, and feather, I found my own edges softening, scars fading.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“Maybe you were never actually lonely for other people. All along, maybe you were lonely for the earth.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“This something sparked on a little island off the rocky coast of Maine would grow from a twinge to a hunger to a need you would spend years, a decade, a lifetime pursuing.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“In reaching for stone, wood, water, and feather, I found my own edges softening, scars fading.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“Was I hiding from reality, on the outside looking in? Or, was I living my reality, on the outside looking out?”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust

“I think I might like to grow thorns. Tough spines that barb anyone who grabs at me, tries to take from me, moves toward me any way other than delicately. Or thick boney horns I can point in front of me to shield the soft, sensitive parts. Not cruel, protected.”
Heather Durham, Going Feral: Field Notes on Wonder and Wanderlust
