I cannot reconcile the extremes in this world; the beauty of the hawk circling the sky, the grace of the snake sliding through the grass, the culmination of life and death as the Red Tailed hawk swoops down from her dance and grasps the garter snake in her talons, eagerly ending its life and joining its essence to her own.

On Sept. 6 local author Victoria Ann Thorpe will discuss her new book, "Cages" at Auntie's Bookstore.

"Cages" tells the story of how Thorpe's sister, Kerry Lyn Dalton, was sentenced to death row for a crime she says she never committed.
