This is a tale of our awakening to our kinship with creation. It is a story about what we might learn if we listened to earth's voices and the songs of our ancestors. As we stand on the edge of entering a world that because of climate change we will not recognize, we need all the help earth has to offer. "The Summer of Our Awakening" describes a grandmother's spiritual quest to understand how to pull ourselves awake in enough time to avoid environmental collapse and restore our earthly home.
