I really enjoyed reading this book. It is the story of the 2008 wildfires at the Tassajara retreat which is located deep in the California wilderness Not only did the book cover the events surrounding the wildfires in great detail it also gave a view into the lives of the Tassajara community and how Zen teaching affected their decisions during the crisis.

Kudos to the writer Colleen Morton Busch for doing an excellent job.
