A great story posted recently to the Outside Magazine website was "The Brief, Wondrous Life of Zina Lahr" written by Grayson Schaffer.
It's one of the pieces that just sticks with you as a reader, in part because of what the family has had to go through with Zina's seven-months pregnant sister dying in a 2010 car accident and also just because of the description of Zina herself.
Really just captivating writing on someone that most people would never have known of if not for this story.
