Predicated on the life of German-American Emma Wagner Giesy, the only woman delivered to the Oregon Place in the 1850s to help found a communal society, award-winning writer Jane Kirkpatrick shows how landscaping, interactions, spirituality and artistry poignantly reveal a woman's need to weave a distinctive and meaningful legacy from the threads of an ordinary life.
