The Stations of Still Creek

After her husband's brush with death while climbing in the Himalayas, Barbara Scot retreats to her cabin deep in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest to reexamine her own life's direction, both as an individual and in her marriage. Exploring the forest, Scot discovers a series of beautiful places she describes as her "stations", places where she experiences a deep communion with nature as she contemplates issues many women (and men) face today: the compromises in a marriage; the breakdown of one's own body; the death of friends; and the choices one must make in a lifetime. Scot's story is a moving chronicle of one woman's longing to express her innermost self, as well as an eloquent plea to preserve places where people can experience the healing powers of nature.
