The Birds That Saved Me

Jason Steed and his family were already struggling with some hard things in March 2020. Disease. Trauma. Depression. Death. Then the world shut down in response to the COVID pandemic. To cope with these hard things, Steed started going for walks to the creek that ran through his neighborhood. Then he discovered the birds. And the birds are what saved him. Part memoir, part self-help guide, part introduction to birds and birding, The Birds That Saved Me is a richly layered meditation on life-a book about finding the good things that will help us to survive the hard things.
