Kelon Crawford spent a decade building a life down by Big Bend National Park: guiding river trips, doing conservation work, and building an off-grid house. But when she got pregnant, she and her husband decided to give up their adventure and move to Alpine to give their daughter the best possible home.
Then, after uprooting their lives to become parents, Kelon and her husband found themselves facing tragedy — and struggling to navigate their grief alone.
