• "If much of nature writing is about the heart’s search for an unspoiled landscape, The Heart of the Sound is about what happens when the return-to-paradise fantasy is over and paradise is lost." "Holleman creates a captivating picture of a woman who found her Eden in the sweeping fjords of Alaska only to almost lose it to ecological tragedy. Speaking as a witness and as a survivor, she shares in language both beautiful and strong what it means to rediscover and to love an imperfect place."–BOOK JACKET
