Alone with severe beauty. How I lost everything that seemed important, and learned to love

Karen runs from problems to a small village in the Colorado mountains and is left alone with his thoughts against the backdrop of the beauty and cruelty of nature. When the fire destroys everything that she had, she closes even more in herself. But trying to reconcile the thirst for loneliness with the need for society, Karen finds the way back and becomes happy.

These inspiring memoirs are a tribute to the forty seasons that the author lived in the mountains, as well as recognition of love to the unpredictable and beautiful forces of nature.
