Book Cover for Homing
Description

In this memoir, Alice Irene Whittaker shares her experience leaving behind her fast-paced commuter life for a cabin in the woods. She starts a new way of living that focuses on taking care of herself and the environment while battling perfectionism, workaholism, and climate anxiety. By embracing imperfection and fostering the ecosystem around her, she begins to heal her relationship with the natural world and herself. The book’s themes of self-care, environmental stewardship, and personal growth can be used in health, environmental, or even science lessons. There is also a strong focus on community that can be used in lessons to encourage students to think and write about their own community and their responsibility to the people and world around them. Though excerpts could be used, this text is best experienced in full to showcase the whole journey.
