An Armsfull of Birds: A Personal Field Guide to Love, Loss, and Commitment by Cara Benson


"In moving through both her intensely personal and her planetary grief, Benson examines the cycles of boundless love, indelible loss, and hard-won recovery in this powerful climate memoir. This honest, emotional story about the importance of meaningful connection, engaged living, and our commitments to ourselves, our loved ones, and the ailing world around us, reminds us that 'loss has everything to do with loving.'” - Orion Magazine
