Synopsis

In the spring of 1983, Terry Tempest Williams faces a dual crisis: her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis and the unprecedented rise of the Great Salt Lake. As the lake threatens the bird refuge she cherishes, Williams, a poet and naturalist, grapples with personal loss and environmental change, finding parallels between her family's struggle and the natural world's vulnerability.
