This volume is dedicated to the memory of Patsy Ruth Oliver, environmentalist, storyteller, hell-raiser and mother. She touched and inspired so many. Her personal motto makes an apt epigram for this book:
So many people don't think that one person can make a difference. But really, it has to start somewhere, so let it start with me.
