Details:

A nature-infused memoir that's perfect for readers of Jon Katz and Helen Macdonald, Waldron's book is a poignant reminder that sometimes the path to healing begins with a four-legged guide, set against the lush backdrop of rural Ireland. This event is cohosted by CelticMKE.

After the sudden loss of his father, Waldron found unexpected solace in Ireland's East Clare region. There, on an abandoned farm, he encountered a lone, enigmatic border collie. What began as an animal rescue gradually evolved into a profound companionship that helped Waldron navigate his grief. As Waldron embarks on daily hikes through Ireland's misty woodlands and rugged hillsides, their bond deepens. Each step through the Irish countryside becomes part of a ritual of recovery, trust, and understanding. In spare, lyrical prose, Waldron crafts a uniquely soulful memoir that explores the emotional terrain of loss and the redemptive power of connection.
