What the Heart Wants

Book excerpt: WHAT THE HEART WANTS is the story of one woman's passion for the natural world, told with a lyrical and emotional depth that evokes one's deepest connections to heart and soul-indeed to life itself. "DIANNE GROB has an extraordinary capacity to bring the reader into a lovely, rapt silence-and to simultaneously awaken and satisfy our yearning for the living reality of our world. I cannot think of anyone who has written of the path through hopelessness to hope for the world with greater clarity and honest, evocative wisdom. I love to think of all the people who will have their hearts opened by this book and whom it will help to find their way home. It is beautiful. It is needed. It deserves to be a classic." -JOANNA MACY Author of World as Lover; World as Self and Coming Back to Life
