Author and environmentalist Terry Tempest Williams has written of deserts and the American West, the Great Salt Lake and the Bear River. She’s a naturalist and a natural poet.

Her new book is “Finding Beauty in a Broken World.” It’s an unlikely pilgrimage from the artisan workshops of Italian mosaic masters, to the complex prairie dog cities of Utah, to the broken and remade world of genocide and Rwanda.

A pilgrim thirsting for beauty in a world of shards and broken fragments.
