Longing for the Wild

by Lynn Gray

Overview

Lynn Gray describes her book as an exploration of how to feel again. For me, “again” engenders a particular emotion. I’m a boy “again,” discovering. I’m a Native man “again,“ a participant in the great mystery. Reading this book is like listening to music. There’s the same thrill of recognition, in the way a well-sung line can penetrate the stone veil of the heart. I need a song that can carry me through the gathering clouds. This book allows me to believe we humans have the inner resources to make the future into a great adventure. I wish I could make this book into a song, so everyone could get this feeling in three minutes. Maybe I will. -Walter McKee Andrus, film and music producer: 13th Floor Elevators, Easter Everywhere

Recently I had the privilege of reading Longing for the Wild. I was deeply moved by its purity and its beauty. I was struck by Lynn's sensitivity, her honesty, her unpretentious style. There is lasting power to her story. Unlike so many novels and memoirs that quickly recede in memory, this one will stay with me for many years. In fact, it has influenced my vision of how I want to live, arousing hopes and dreams. -Maria Espinosa, author, Longing, Dark Plums and Dying Unfinished.

Lynn's heart is the wheel that turns the story, and she writes with dignity, strength, and courage.
