Through letters and interviews Lear reconstructs an early life in which Carson had to defer dreams of becoming a scientist in order to help support her family following the failed schemes of an ineffectual father and tragedies that befell hapless siblings. While she toiled as an editor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, she continually and futilely proposed pieces to magazines, ranging from the Atlantic...
