The Carver's Daughter: A Memoir will be released on July 1, 2020 and available at all major online booksellers in print and as an eBook. I can't wait to share it!
Here's the blurb:
Growing up as the only child of a woodcarver with a passion
for birds was strange enough. But when I acquired a sibling, life got weird—considering
that sibling was a museum.
The milestones of my childhood involved hiking through
bogs, snipping foliage out of aluminum pie pans, driving an opinionated
tractor, and handing out pamphlets as a child activist. Through it all was my
father, Bob Spear, a force of nature disguised as a quiet man. He created the
Birds of Vermont Museum through vision and will. He caught me up in his dream,
and working beside him, I grew into myself as well. The museum and I were
shaped by his guidance and thrived on his love.
And a lot of pie and ice cream.
All the pieces in this collection were previously
published in Chip Notes, the Birds of Vermont Museum’s newsletter,
except “My Father and the Camp,” which is brand new.
