As a child, May considered herself a "global girl from many places," moving every two years with her nomadic family—but in her thirties, her perspective changed. When presented with an opportunity to live on 107 acres in Montana, May and her fiancé, Chris, seize it. Determined to experience the wilderness fully, they build a yurt—more specifically, a traditional Mongolian ger—on the capital-L "Land." This moving memoir celebrates life as simple, teeming, beautiful, and poetic, with May making gentle observations: "Three magpies balanced on a fence nearby. Their movement caught my eye."
