Written by Barry Lopez's wife, Debra Gwartney, about his last months and days, including the Oregon Holiday Farm fire which burned the house and land he'd lived in for so many decades.

It's just a beautiful piece of writing and is free for now.

Yep, hard times.  Everyone at some point faces something terminal, critical. 

Her honesty about her jealousy, ("resentment"), with his hard-core interest in writing is sincere.  

Well written, and easy to relate to, with the fear of fire increases every year now.
