The Colors of My Sunset

From the scorching sands of Death Valley to the breathtaking icy peaks of Glacier, gear up to experience the awesome wonders of our National Parks— captured in words and intertwined with careful reflections.

  Part travel log, part memoir, part inspirational reflection, this book is presented in episodic serials that observe the natural world in all its grandeur: towering redwoods, mossy forests, glacial lakes, salty sea waves, and volcanic mountainsides.

  Relive a first-time grizzly bear encounter, trample over pine needles and rocky cliffs among mountain goats and whistling marmots. Embark on overnight backpacking trips under the stars and barefoot hikes among waterfalls. Pause to ponder the meaning of the mountains, the messages of the forest, and the voices of the past.

  Inspired by the wonders of nature and challenged by emerging illness, the author grapples with life and death, exploring questions of existence and legacy: What is the purpose of suffering? What legacy will one leave behind? In the face of grim prospects, how does one move onward? Where is faith in all of this?

  As you curiously travel through these pages and landscapes, discover how to embrace each chapter of life. Learn to approach life’s challenges with confidence and expectancy, asking yourself:

What will be The Colors of My Sunset?
