Members Reviews:
A Courageous Exploration of a Family's Tragedy and Healing
Through fearless self-reflection and a patient unpacking of his family history, Mikkel Aaland discovers that it's never too late to learn from your past, heal and grow. Epigenetics, one of the most fascinating areas of recent scientific learning, posits that the experiences of our ancestors can impact our own mental, physical and spiritual health through a mechanism commonly known as "ghost genes." Aaland intuits, then learns of, this fascinating concept while striving to make sense of the loss of his eccentric, adventurous father in a heartbreaking family tragedy. If this book's humanity and compassion alone were not enough to reward the reader, Aaland, a renowned photographer, graces his tale with exquisite images from regular visits to his ancestral home in Norway and family archives, forging a much broader work of art.
This well written and beautifully told tale of tragic loss
Mikkel's odyssey is a treasure. This well written and beautifully told tale of tragic loss, humanity and resilience is a gift to the world and to all who dare to love greatly and accept what the universe offers.
A Beautiful Book
Mikkel Aaland has taken a terrible tragedy and made it into a rich and compelling meditation on family, history and spirituality. As in his earlier excellent book âSword of Heavenâ, Aaland is an engaging storyteller who nonetheless keeps his eyes clearly focused on the larger issues of life, love and destiny. An added bonus is that this time Aaland has used his considerable skills as a photographer to add a strong and haunting visual element to the telling.
Bravo Mikkel!
Mikkel's story, in its simple language and beautiful photos, captured the emotional essence of his life. His honest telling and revelations from his ancestors and relatives in Norway to his family and friends in San Francisco cast reflections on all of our lives. The River in My Backyard is a book to be lauded and shared.
Finding joy and rebirth in nature
His brother murdered his father, led by the "hand of God."
I cannot imagine being brave enough to work through this and strong enough to write about it. That is what Mikkel Aaland does in this heartfelt story. He shares sorrow, joy, and a passion for life that will inspire any reader.
