"These walks with Leslie Carol Roberts -—by turns exhilarating, heart-breaking, and informative—are always just what I need.”

"Roberts expertly crafts a narrative both of the places she's traveled and the events that have shaped her own emotional terrain."
—Library Journal
"The book paints a sharp picture of the natural and historical aspects of the Presidio, which acts as platform that inspires broader consideration of the environment.... There is a certain beauty and elegance in Roberts's words and the rhythm and cadence of her writing. All the while, her text exudes a deep love and respect for the world around her. Simply put, Here Is Where I Walk is a breath of fresh air."
