Barefoot Hearted:
A Wild Life Among Wildlife

“Thoughtful and irreverent . . . a compelling portrait of a life lived close to nature.”
Publisher's Weekly

“Barefoot Hearted is both wise and knowledgeable; warm-hearted and truly funny, and above all, honest, in the way horses are honest. Right from the time she peeled her soles, I knew, I knew this sister!”
—Keri Hulme, New Zealand author of the prize-winning novel The Bone People

“Edward Abbey, the staunch defender of the natural world, can quit turning over in his grave now. His torch has been retrieved and lifted high by Kathleen Meyer, an environmental writer with as much wit and stylistic color as the man himself!”
—Lynn Hamilton, Book Page
