Praise for Scavenging Beauty “A moving excavation of the long tail of family trauma and the healing power of a long walk.”– Katherine May, bestselling author of Wintering and Enchantment “Angelica Glass has written an extraordinary memoir of a harrowing childhood and the healing and transformation she experienced while walking every single street in Santa Cruz County. This is beautiful nature writing, coupled with depth and insight into trauma, forgiveness and especially love. This book inspires as it charms.” –Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author of Somehow “Scavenging Beauty is utterly, astonishingly good. Angelica Glass takes us from the disordered ecosystem of a difficult childhood though the healing perfection of the natural world, all of it is suffused with nuance, compassion, and a curiosity that overflows its banks. This is among the best memoirs in this genre. I'm a better person for having read it.” –Catherine Newman, author of Sandwich and Wreck “A good walk sharpens the eye, and Angelica Glass has made a raw, crystal-clear amble out of her life. Her steps will make you want to stand up from your chair and set off through your own life.”– Craig Childs, author of The Wild Dark
