"This one is definitely better than The Da Vinci Code" —
Globe and Mail
"A delight to read: funny and tender and vibrant. The
story rips along, told in vivid scenes that are masterfully
paced. It's all working in this novel: conflicted characters
frustrated with each other, hope-mangled maybe, but still
optimistic. It rings true in the most charming and most
satisfying way. I gobbled it up."
-Eliza Clark
"Lisa Martin-DeMoor's poems inventively refract the
resources of the lyric to remind us that 'loss is a
substance'-it is the difficult spectrum of other lives that
inhabit our own. One crow sorrow is a remarkable
account of the complex relationships between grief and joy,
disease and beauty, heartbreak and love. These are
profoundly moving poems by a writer of immense talent."
-Adam Dickinson, Kingdom, Phylum
This is a book of true stories about some of the bravest
mountain climbers, explorers and wilderness adventurers who

unforgettable children.
