      Yes, this book is technically about a Pulitzer Prize winning author turned rural chicken farmer, but it's also a heartwarming and heartbreaking tale about self discovery and learning to deal with the hardships associated with love/loss as we mature. It's more emotional than scientific or technical, but I appreciated how the author related her insights in brief, poignant vignettes and poetry rather than diluting the stories with long weepy narratives. While only a minor part of the book, I thought Walker's views on fencing in rather than out were particularly interesting. Bottom Line: This book is no "The Color Purple" but it is an enjoyable, compassionate and relevant read. A recommend for anybody considering a coop of their own and anyone else exploring the role humans play (and should play) in the natural world.
