On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Houston's ranch becomes her sanctuary, a place where she discovers how the natural world has mothered and healed her after a childhood of parental abuse and neglect.

In a work as lucid and invigorating as mountain air, Deep Creek delivers Houston's most profound meditations yet on how β€œto live simultaneously inside the wonder and the grief... to love the damaged world and do what I can to help it thrive.”
