			        		In 1991 the author of this lyrical narrative of resurrection was struck by lightning near her Wyoming ranch. The effects of this electrocution were long-lasting, requiring intensive medical attention for the physical and mental trauma that included sensory impairment. In her chronicle of two years of healing, naturalist Ehrlich ( The Solace of Open Spaces ) traces the abrupt changing of her life from &quot;before the negative charge shot down from cloud to ground.&quot; Her love for animals and the earth was a support, as was the care of an intuitive cardiologist and the friends and family who rallied around as her failing marriage finally ended. Ehrlich&apos;s inspirational self-discovery calls attention to other lightning survivors as, &quot;carved from a ruined body,&quot; she returns to the ranch with new life.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Some Nice Passages but a Bit Scattered in Focus
  

*by S***N on July 26, 2018*









  
  
    Had some wonderful writing, some intriguing passages about lightning and surviving a lightning strike. But the story wandered all over, with philosophical ramblings that had little connectivity. I suppose that was the purpose of the book, but I was looking for more of a concrete story.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An interesting story both medically as well as spiritually
  

*by P***. on May 7, 2014*









  
  
    I must say that I was drawn in by Ms. Ehrlich's other written works. Her writing style has an easy flow plus you feel engaged with the topics she writes about. I particularly like this book. She tells her own story of being struck by lightening and not only the physical challenges she encountered but also regaining relationships with herself, her surroundings, and re-engaging in life. An excellent read.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Captivating from the start
  

*by S***N on May 6, 2014*









  
  
    Brilliantly written memoir that held my attention from beginning to end. I love the way she blends in her family history, the research she did on lightning, the body's vascular and nervous systems, and her many friendships with her struggle to survive and then thrive after being struck by lightning--for the second time in her life. Amazing story.
