The moment they placed her newborn baby in her arms, Anne LeClare knew she'd found the only love she could trust in an otherwise treacherous world. She'd face any odds, defy any danger, to keep her daughter safe. But her late husband's father wanted the child, and he'd ruthlessly wield his power and prestige to wrench her away .... Alone, on the run, braving a Colorado blizzard, Anne and her daughter found safe harbor with aloof, unemotional bachelor Pete Hogan. Until a rambunctious child cracked the ice glazing Pete's still waters-revealing startling depths, plunging Anne in over her head . . . and threatening to swamp her in the perilous crosscurrents of love.

In the 14 years since Sierra Club Books published Theodore Roszak, Mary E. Gomes, and Allen D. Kanner’s groundbreaking anthology, Ecopsychology: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mind, the editors of this new volume have often been asked: Where can I find out more about the psyche-world connection? How can I do hands-on work in this area? Ecotherapy was compiled to answer these and other urgent questions. Ecotherapy, or applied ecopsychology, encompasses a broad range of nature-based methods of psychological healing, grounded in the crucial fact that people are inseparable from the rest of nature and nurtured by healthy interaction with the Earth. Leaders in the field, including Robert Greenway, and Mary Watkins, contribute essays that take into account the latest scientific understandings and the deepest indigenous wisdom. Other key thinkers, from Bill McKibben to Richard Louv to Joanna Macy, explore the links among ecotherapy, spiritual development, and restoring community. As mental-health professionals find themselves challenged to provide hard evidence that their practices actually work, and as costs for traditional modes of psychotherapy rise rapidly out of sight, this book offers practitioners and interested lay readers alike a spectrum of safe, effective alternative approaches backed by a growing body of research.
