| In Changing Planes, Kathy Scott takes
plane in hand, learning the craft from her husband, David Van Burgel, an
experienced, highly talented, rodmaker. The nature of change, the changes in
nature, and the inspirations of community are intertwined in the resulting
engaging journal of their lives together. Making the rod becomes a metaphor for
embracing the changes in life, changes where we find ourselves living on a
different plane, still good, still to be celebrated, though not always easy to
face. Readers of her other books will be pleased to continue her story; new
readers will find an outdoor world they’ll love to share: Maine, Michigan,
Labrador, the conservation community, the community that is rodmaking today.
Anyone facing changes in his or her life will find themselves in these pages. Hardcover
"With an appreciation of the inevitability
of leaving it, Kathy Scott embraces the community of her choosing — good
friends, good fish, fly fishers, builders, poets, the exuberant. Once you
realize that you already have been invited to be a part of that community, you
will want to read Changing Planes more than once. Trust me."
