Out of the Woods

Out of the Woods (2014) by Lynn Darling. This book is subtitled A Memoir of Wayfinding. It's all about Darling's search for a meaningful life after her husband dies and her daughter leaves home to go to college. To complicate things, she is diagnosed with breast cancer and has to go through chemotherapy and radiation. I found this book only fitfully interesting; Darling's long discussions of how she learned to find her way in the woods just didn't light my fire. At some points I found the memoir depressing. It was just too sad, everything she went through. Overall, I was disappointed in this book. Grade: B
