Reviews

Full of wisdom, wit, and loving attention, Pam Houston's survey of her life and land should be required reading for anyone who loves this planet we call home.--Camille T. Dungy, author of Guidebook to Relative Strangers
Houston has a great range of vision, and she's fun to read. She gets the land right.... In this perfectly American memoir, a restless heart finds its place.--Craig Childs, author of Atlas of a Lost World
Pam Houston is in possession of a deep, heart-achingly beautiful love for her own personal piece of earth. And as equally deep is her ability for hope. In a time where the world is either drowning, or burning, or being drilled-into, Houston's outlook promises a better tomorrow--even if that means we're no longer here.--Sara Cutaia
Pam Houston is in possession of a deep, heart- achingly beautiful love for her own personal piece of earth. And as equally deep is her ability for hope.--Sara Cutaia
Insightful and evocative--Nathan Devel
Deep Creek is a love letter to earth, animals, and the best of humanity. Pam Houston has taken our heartache and woven it back into hope. Her stories of love, loss, and a life lived in relationship to land give us good reasons not to give up on ourselves or each other. This is the book we need right now to remind us how to endure--passionately. An unstoppable heart song.--Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Misfit's Manifesto
