... bracing.
Events are too artless to describe. But emotions have real gravitas. Warmth fluctuates in its emotional tone.
Sherrell is a passionate advocate for the climate movement, which he conveys with urgency and honest, raw emotion, expressing an anxiety he feels has infiltrated the essence of his being. He writes with a frightening sense of gravity that will give Generation X and the baby boom generation reason to take a close, hard look at what’s happening and do something.
[Sherrell] writes with clarity and emotion about how proximity to tragedy doesn’t ultimately make one privy to it, and suggests that there is a muteness, an ambiguity surrounding so much of the reality we live with, counterbalanced always by the relentless noise of the media. Sherrell has written a compelling, urgent work which will find an eager audience among fans and draw in others interested in environmental justice. This is the type of coming-of-age book one must read in order to understand what it means to live with clear-eyed awareness of the climate disaster while also continuing to move forward.
... eerie and gorgeous.
Climate activist Sherrell brilliantly balances despair and hope in his searing debut.
Readers reluctant to open another discouraging scientific explanation or call to action may perk up to discover that this is neither.
