Mountaineers Books Base Camp: Bring It Home Faith Of Cranes: Finding Hope And Family In Alaska

Faith of Cranes is Lentfer’s quiet, lyrical memoir of his home and community near Glacier Bay that reveals a family’s simple acts — planting potatoes, watching cranes, hunting deer — as well as a close and eccentric Alaskan community. It shows how several thousand birds and one little girl teach a new father there is no future imaginable that does not leave room for compassion and grace.
