Bøger udgivet af Carolyn Keith Hopper

Explore the changing seasons of nature, and travel with the poet across these pages. For as long as she can remember, Carolyn Keith Hopper has loved spending time exploring the woods and fields around her home. Swaying tall grasses, mats of pine needles, drifts of wildflowers, and the sounds of cool running streams have been the inspiration behind much of her writing. In her first collection of poetry, Hopper shares what it feels like to be out in quiet places of natural beauty. With subject matters ranging from birds to flowers to celestial wonders and many other ponderings in between, Poems from a Wild Heart is a reflective compilation about life, love, and loss in the great outdoors.

"In Fishing with My Father, Carolyn Hopper has penned a moving valentine to the most influential man in her life-a meditation on the current of life to which all daughters and their dads can relate. So seldom do we see stories so richly connected to the bond between father, daughter, and angling water."-Todd Wilkinson, award-winning Montana author and journalistTwo years after her father passed away, Carolyn discovered letters her father and his father wrote to each other, providing her a glimpse into a man she realized she didn't know. These letters, combined with the lyrics of a song she heard on the ride home from her father's memorial service, stirred in Carolyn an intense desire to know her father on a deeper level and question whether he ever really knew her. Following her father's example, Carolyn writes her own letters to him that ultimately result in the resolution within herself of a lifetime of feeling that she never measured up to her dad's unspoken benchmark for her. Throwing off the bowlines of self-limiting beliefs, Carolyn finds liberation and finally allows herself to relish and connect with the legacy her father left her-as she meets him in every river she fishes.
