ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My new book, “In the Valley,” continues the story of Serena Pemberton, and it includes her and Galloway’s last attempt to kill her late husband’s former lover and child. Part of the reason I felt it timely to return to Serena is the environmental threat, particularly to our national parks, that we are facing once again, as when I wrote Serena in 2008.

“Then one morning she’d begun to feel her sorrow easing, like something jagged that had cut into her so long it had finally dulled its edges, worn itself down. That same day Rachel couldn’t remember which side her father had parted his hair on, and she’d realized again what she’d learned at five when her mother left – that what made losing someone you loved bearable was not remembering but forgetting. Forgetting the small things first, the smell of the soap her mother had bathed with, the color of the dress she’d worn to church, then after a while the sound of her mother’s voice, the color of her hair. It amazed Rachel how much you could forget, and everything you forgot made that person less alive inside you until you could finally endure it. After more time passed you could let yourself remember, even want to remember. But even then what you felt those first days could return and remind you the grief that was still there, like old barbed wire embedded in a tree’s heartwood.”
