When Braestrup's husband, Drew, a Maine state trooper, was killed in a
traffic accident, leaving her alone with four small children, she did
what any uncommonly brave, quirkily devout person would do: She became a
Unitarian minister and a chaplain in the Maine Warden Service, the
people responsible for rescuing (or recovering the bodies of) wayward
hikers, drunken snowmobilers, straying children and other victims of
Maine's pitiless northern terrain. She tells her story, and the stories
of those she has helped and worked with and grieved with, with
simplicity and intelligence and grace.
