2015 · 1231 — Berkeley: Counterpoint 2015. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed on the title page. Uncommon signed. This book is in the vanguard of environmental writing and is one of the most respected environmental works of the last decade or beyond.

Trace is her first solo literary work and was the winner of an American Book Award and an Association for the Study of Literature and Environment ASLE Creative Writing Book Award along with a host of other finalist nods. Prominent blurb by Terry Tempest Williams: "I have never read a more beautiful smart and vulnerable accounting of how we are shaped by memory of place."
