Unraveling Secrets and Shadows: A Riveting Dive into Betsy Cornwell’s Ring of Salt
What I appreciate most about Ring of Salt is its generosity. Cornwell has written a book that does the hard work of bearing witness without asking for pity. The book shows vulnerability without performing it. She offers us something precious: permission to believe that we, too, can break ourselves free.
Ring of Salt swept me away the way Ireland sweeps you away: completely, irrevocably, with a wild beauty that stayed with me long after I’d returned to solid ground.
