It s not easy, Catherine Reid writes, to love a person and a place in equal measure. Love she does, however, as described in these intimate, lyric essays about the land and people around her. With the inside perspective of a native New Englander combined with her outsider status as a lesbian, Reid explores such paradoxes as those that arise from harnessing wild rivers or legalizing same-sex marriage.

They explore the surprising range of dissidents who enlisted print in their causes-from vegetarians and...
