Hawk Flies Above: Journey to the Heart of the Sandhills
Lisa Dale Norton


First-time author Norton strikes a fine balance between memoir and nature essay in writing of her homecoming to the wellspring of her childhood memories, the Cedar River of Nebraska...

  1. What experiences with nature as a child made a lasting impact on you?

  2. Have you described with words or other art any of your encounters with Nature? (Hope you will bring some to share.)

  3. How best do you enjoy Nature?

  4. What did you think of Norton's development of her relationship with Nature?
