The Gift Of Land

The Gift of Land: Living With Nature, a memoir by Gloria Hildebrandt

A fascination with animals. A love for a piece of land. A complicated family. Gloria was a child when her parents bought some unappreciated acres of scrubland in the country north of Georgetown. Over several decades, her father nurtured the land back into a rich native forest with wetlands. After years of family conflicts and clashes, Gloria inherited the land and had it become a federally registered nature reserve, protected in perpetuity. The Gift of Land: Living With Nature is a memoir of dealing with wild plants and animals while enduring a difficult relationship with a domineering parent.

Softcover, 6” x 9”, 163 pages with 16 pages of full-colour photographs.
