A Wonderful Read

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone. Her enthusiasm for botany definitely rubbed off on me, and I loved the way that she explained the science concepts. Hope Jahren's story inspiring, and her prose is truly beautiful.

Don't miss this book! An absolute GEM!

This memoir of a delightful botanist who is so brilliant, so enthusiastic, so inspiring and in addition so incredibly hilarious...I cannot think of a single book I have read in a lifetime ( 68 years) that has so touched my heart and ultimately my soul... I absolutely could not put it down..then never wanted it to end...Very special woman...truly once in a lifetime does such a writer come along...I want to read everything she ever writes!!!!
