Book cover for The Good Rain: Across Time & Terrain in the Pacific Northwest (Vintage Departures)
The regional icons—salmon and trees and mountains and water—spring from the elements. If people here become too far removed from those basic sources of life, then they lose the bond to a better world.

Anthony Ray Hinton
“Every single one wants to matter. We want our lives, and our stories and the choices we made or didn’t make to matter.”
Anthony Ray Hinton, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row

Gary Krist
“New Orleans' rebellious and free-spirited personality is nothing if not resilient. And so the disruptive energies of the place- its vibrancy and eccentricity, its defiance and nonconformity, and yes, its violence and depravity- are likely to live on.”
Gary Krist, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder, and the Battle for Modern New Orleans

Bryan Stevenson
“Fear and anger are a threat to justice. They can infect a community, a state, or a nation, and make us blind, irrational, and dangerous.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg

DaShanne Stokes
“If you love your country, you must be willing to defend it from fraud, bigotry, and recklessness--even from a president.”
DaShanne Stokes
