Summary Annotation <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;After the deaths of her father and father-in-law, Laurie Lawlor discovers an unlikely place for healing and transformation in a wetland in southeastern Wisconsin&mdash;a landscape of abundant and sometimes inaccessible beauty that has often been ignored, misunderstood, and threatened by human destruction. In her decade-long personal wetland journey, she examines the sky, delves underwater, and peers between sedges in all seasons and all times of day.<br /><i>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;This Tender Place</i>is a celebration of nature, the elements, and humanity. From the wetland&#8217;s genesis during the ice age to its survival in the twenty-first century, Lawlor chronicles the universal ties among people, wild places, and healthy wetlands.</p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;An engaging and deeply intimate record,<i>This Tender Place</i>is at its heart a story of refuge and renewal refracted through the lens of life within the wetlands&mdash;one of the most productive, yet most endangered, ecosystems in the world.
