Compelling And Prescient Read
Amazing that this book was written BEC (Before Everything Changed) — for us all! The story offers prescient inspiration and wisdom relevant to all humans (young and old) attempting to live creatively, and responsively, during a time of great social and environmental change...

I am both an avid reader and environmentalist, and I have long been searching for a book that truly explores the plights of living in this time of global warming...
I really identified with the thoughts and struggles of the characters, especially those of your main character, Kally. Her thought process and transformation over the plot of the book reflects what I think many people around the world are feeling in this day and age...
I also appreciated how everyone supported each other in your story, which shows that we can all depend on one another in times of crisis. That theme is also reflected right now with whole communities supporting one another during this pandemic.
This was a good read, and I think others would love reading it as well.

Climate change is a big anxiety trigger for me, but I felt like I was able to somehow absorb the super harsh realities of what the characters (and we) are facing... I was totally transported. The mixture of anxiety, excitement and adventure was really gripping. And even though it is so intense, there is so much hope and positivity...
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. And how much I needed it! I seriously didn't put it down. I hope there is a sequel coming.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a compelling work of art for our moment. Rather than turn away from the challenges of living in the anthropocene (how could they), the characters move with incoming force fields to create new, responsive paths. Such attuned, inventive maneuvers will be increasingly vital as we all "way find" trajectories in our totally new, unpredictable ecology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all who care about our planet earth and the changes that may already be underway. We begin BEC (before everything changed). A story of what’s possibly on the way for our planet earth and all who make it home. Capturing the fragile moments of adapting to a changing world we are taken along on this unbelievably believable new normal of a solid, broken and changing life in the Anthropocene.
