A short book of musings on what the author went through growing up, with parallels made to plants and animals in nature.
I enjoyed this book as it showed a childhood different from most, and it took an artistic view on just about everything. Coming of age is never an easy path, but the way the author thought about it in comparison with other creatures was creative.
There are a lot of great memories in here, and I was glad to read that her mother was still alive to read these and see things from her child’s point of view. Obviously she did a great job raising her kids, although it must have been exhausting.
This book was nice walk off the pathway of books I have read recently, and although I’m not really into poetry the prose here strikes a happy medium. Well written.
Next I am reading The Darkness of Others by Cate Holahan.
