"Put It Down on Paper is the charming, poignant tale of Phil Primack’s unflagging search for the woman who would otherwise have been lost to history—and of that woman’s fortitude and passion. Mary Folsom Blair comes to us directly, in her diary, where she speaks with courage and candor of her love of nature and of writing. Part detective story, part coming of age tale, and part journal, this is a chronicle of a writer’s need to know and a woman’s resilience told with grace, wit, and intelligence." - Brenda Wineapple
