From the Inside Flap

Patti Rokus spent her childhood in rural Oregon wading through streams, building forts, and looking under rocks. After a career in technology with Microsoft, British Petroleum, Nike, and others, she found her way back to her true loves--nature and God. Patti is still a wanderer, not yet rooted in one place, but can be found pocketing a few rocks on every hike throughout the Pacific Northwest.
