Reviews of Krista Schlyer's books: Almost Anywhere (publication October 2015, Skyhorse Publishing) “Outstanding, wry, heart-wrenching and healing. Those words describe Almost Anywhere, which hits the bull’s-eye as a cross betweenWild and Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. Krista’s unique voice will draw you in and take you on journey to the intersection of unfathomable grief and the healing power of wanderlust.” —Michelle Theall, author of Teaching the Cat to Sit Continental Divide (2012, Texas A&M University Press) Walls do not solve problems; they make them. That is the simple, elegant premise of writer and photographer Krista Schlyer's book Continental Divide, which chronicles the unintended ecological and social consequences of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. --High Country News
