Waltzing the Cat
of Pam Houston (Goodreads Author)
Description
Now, in eleven linked fictions featuring a peripatetic photographer named Lucy O'Rourke, author Pam Houston once again serves up her charismatic blend of relationships and adventure. This is the story of one woman's struggle for balance in a world that keeps pitching and rolling under her feet. Dislocated geographically and spiritually, Lucy is prone to the wrong decisions at all the critical times; what's more, natural disasters just seem to find her: an accident on a rafting trip in Cataract Canyon, a grand cayman attack in the Amazon, a hurricane in the Gulf Stream--not to mention a few natural disasters in the form of men. A surprise encounter with Carlos Castenada convinces her that she isn't living the right life, and his cryptic message sends her back to her beloved Rocky Mountains. There, on a ranch, she takes comfort in animals, the jagged landscape of Colorado, and the sage advice of female friends; she even gives a man a try. Most importantly, for the first time she reconnects with parts of herself she didn't remember losing.
