Journey through a wild Ohio bog and discover how plants, rocks, and time tell a larger story about the land and its people. This nature memoir blends field notes, geology, and quiet reflections to illuminate a place that is at once intimate and ancient. Read as the author collects specimens, interprets the landscape, and invites you to pause and consider how ecosystems shape our lives.
