Pure
delight. A sensitive account of one woman's successful search for harmony and
nature. Pat Garber has a rare gift of scientific description in readable, lucid
prose that often verges on poetry. --David Shears, author of Ocracoke,
Its History and People
Pat Garber captures the spiritual essence
of what it means to live at Ocracoke. Her book is much more than a nature
journal...it is a love story, an Ocracoke philosophy of life. --Donald
Davis, author of Listening for the Crack of Dawn
It has been said that love's measure can
be taken in the quality of one's attention. Pat Garber is the lover this
beautiful and wondrous world deserves. The quality of her attentions here is
keen, fierce, expansive, and wise. Pat is a born teacher and guide, gently
leading one toward deeper understanding and appreciation. She is also a writer
of uncommon gifts, and Ocracoke Odyssey will be a gift to anyone who
reads it. --Susan Dodd, author of The Mourner's Bench
Pat Garber first came to the isolated barrier island
of Ocracoke, North Carolina, as a refugee from a painful divorce. She stayed to
devote herself to the island's wildlife. Readers who were enchanted with her
intimate encounters with Ocracoke's wild creatures in her first book, Ocracoke
Wild, will rejoice anew at this continuing glimpse into her life and the
fascinating wild world that she has made her own.
