Then one day she realized that a mangy-looking fox was showing up on her property every afternoon at 4:15 p.m. In the meantime, she taught remotely and led field classes in nearby Yellowstone National Park. She was as emotionally isolated as she was physically, but she viewed the house as a way station, a temporary rest stop where she could gather her nerves and fill out applications for what she hoped would be a real job that would help her fit into society.
