The book is a collection of essays and musings on nature, the wilderness, and the beauty of the outdoors. The title of the book comes from the ancient Roman goddess Egeria, who was believed to inspire wisdom and counsel. Simms uses this idea as a framework for his own reflections on the natural world.

Throughout the book, Simms weaves together personal anecdotes, historical references, and philosophical musings. He writes in a poetic and lyrical style, making the book a joy to read.
