Jennifer Rieger’s debut memoir, Burning Sage, is a marvelous collection of essays about growing up, family, teaching, community, and the wonders of nature and the human heart. Rieger’s essays fearlessly weave together small-town, childhood summers, the revelations of young parenting, and two decades of classroom connections, all of which lead to the Pacific Northwest, New England, Oxford University, Italy, and ultimately, back to the blank page of a writer who finds purpose.
