In her powerful and inspiring memoir, We Belong to the Land, author Marie Cardinal takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and connection to the natural world. Through her experiences of living off the land and her deep love for the environment, Cardinal invites us to explore our own relationship with nature and find a sense of belonging in the greater scheme of things.

Growing up in a small town in the Midwest, Cardinal always felt a strong connection to the natural world. She spent her days exploring the woods and fields around her home, and she loved to read books about animals and plants. As she got older, Cardinal's love for nature only grew stronger. She studied environmental science in college and worked for several years as a conservationist. It was during this time that she began to realize that her connection to the land was more than just a hobby; it was a part of who she was.

In 2008, Cardinal decided to leave her job and move to a small farm in the mountains of Colorado. She wanted to live a simpler life, closer to nature. She built a small cabin on her land and began to grow her own food. She also started raising animals, including chickens, goats, and pigs. Living off the land was not always easy, but Cardinal found that it was incredibly rewarding. She learned how to live in harmony with the natural world, and she developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and fragility of the planet.

In We Belong to the Land, Cardinal shares her experiences of living off the land and her deep love for the environment. She writes about the challenges she faced, the lessons she learned, and the profound sense of belonging she found in the natural world. Cardinal's story is a powerful reminder that we are all connected to the land, and that we have a responsibility to protect it.

We Belong to the Land is a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with the natural world and find a sense of belonging in the greater scheme of things. Cardinal's writing is honest, insightful, and inspiring. She has a gift for capturing the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and she makes a compelling case for why we should all strive to live more sustainably.

If you are looking for a book that will change your perspective on the natural world, then I highly recommend We Belong to the Land. This book is a powerful reminder that we are all connected to the land, and that we have a responsibility to protect it.
