In Appalachian Summer, Marcia Bonta offers a day-by-day account of summer's budding, blossoming, and fading on her 650-acre property in south-central Pennsylvania. During this summer, the author's first grandchild grows alongside the forest animals that populate the mountain. A local girl disappears, and while searchers comb the mountain for her, Bonta poses questions about women's safety in the woods and why they might hesitate to hike or camp on their own. Undeterred, she continues her meandering daily walks around her forested home, making minute observations of this one place in this one season, ultimately laying bare the undeniable connections we retain to the natural world-which is, after all, our own.
