Really liked Heartwood! We read it with our CoJ book club in Austin!

Jessica, you are not alone! (Although maybe my comment about fishing was preachy hahaha I’ll admit as a vegetarian I can get on a high horse sometimes lolll no pun intended hahahahah) Pigs are so sweet and smart and I wish I could live on a property in the foothills and save animals from slaughter. It is wild how nobody would think of eating or hunting a dog (would be animal cruelty!) but they wouldn’t bat their eyes at doing the same for a pig.

Also, the comment “you must be fun at parties” … danggggg … mean !!!! :(

What a beautiful description! Loved this:

“watch the way he observes the water and the way he soaks in nature and lets it soothe him, chat when he feels like it, and enjoy the company and the silence as we hike through the woods while he still reaches out and puts his hand in mine.”

Pee before we go ;)

My best friend’s little sister just died and this poem had me on my knees weeping. Thank you so much for sharing.
