ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
MY SUMMER WITH OSPREYS

"Witty, frank, warm, and kind, this is a book packed with treasures:
great questions, astute observations, beautiful raptors, interesting and
sometimes struggling people, exquisite art--and most importantly, hope.
You'll love coming along with Pam Lowell on both water and land as she
falls deeper and deeper in love with ospreys, learning more and more
about them. You'll finish this book with a full heart, willing and eager
to help the ospreys' conservation success story keep growing and

to help save our beautiful, imperiled world!"

Sy Montgomery,

NYT best-selling naturalist and author,

OF TIME AND TURTLES: Mending the World, Shell
by Shattered Shell

"The ospreys in this book—and the author's deep abiding interest in them—

yields a series of unexpected gifts and self-made surprises,

namely the friendship of those who are also drawn to these

magnificent creatures. A thoughtful meditation on community and care."

Elizabeth Rush, Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Quickening: Creation and Community at the Ends of the Earth

and Rising: Dispatches from the New America Shore

"OMG - RIVETING!

I did not expect to read it all at once in the middle of a day with a big deadline,

but I COULD NOT stop. Bottom line, Pamela Lowell captured something:

chronicled, reflected, synthesized, engaged, motivated, all in this work of brilliance!

I love this!"

Gina Purtell (she/her)

Community Science/ Coastal Resilience Manager,

Southeast Mass Audubon

"In My Summer with Ospreys, Pamela effortlessly showcases the intrinsic relationships between ospreys,

environmentalism, therapy, and the human experience.

As you wind down river with Pam, your appreciation for the natural world

and all those who inhabit it will surely increase."

Kendra Parker
Development & Outreach Specialist
Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT)

"Lowell shares her encounters with Ospreys passionately with the reader,

detailing her joy and excitement of witnessing the breeding behaviors and process

of development and growth of the chicks, sadness at death, and concern for the birds

and our planet, all with eye-opening comparisons to her job as a therapist.

I felt many emotions while reading the book. I laughed out loud. I felt sad. I was amazed. I loved it! A winner!"

Carol Baird Molander
Education Director
Paskamansett Bird Club

"After every entry I looked forward to hearing what happened next.

I can imagine Pamela's experiences through her descriptions.

I'm so fascinated by wildlife but know very little about their struggles to survive locally.

The book's ending is perfect.

It's so important to ask folks what they are willing to do to help."

Mary Lou Nicholson

Founder "Be the Solution to Pollution"

U Mass Dartmouth

"I really enjoyed this book!

I am not usually one for non-fiction
and environmental topics,
but Pam hooked me in with her therapy tie-in.
The book also helped me to think differently
about environmental concerns, in general.
Readers will truly enjoy Pam's ability to connect her therapeutic
observations/revelations with those of the natural world."

Zoë B. Alley
Writer

Author of Books for Children

"A journey into the nearby wilderness, the

delicate disappearing wilderness, leads to a

journey into the nature of Nature, the nature

of Earth, and the nature of us.

This is an amazing effin work by an

amazing effin woman."
