Diana Beresford-Kroeger is one of the rare individuals who can accomplish this outwardly complex and difficult translation from the nonhuman to human realm." --Edward O. Wilson, entomologist and conservationist "A rare gift: an inspiring tale about trees, trauma and the very purpose of life." --Andrew Nikiforuk, author of Empire of the Beetle "To read her is to be revived by the best kind of animism." --Richard Powers, author of The Overstory "This autobiography of learning ways to heal the damaged earth and break the tightening grips of climate crisis offers a rational and inclusive way to keep our future." --Annie Proulx, author of The Shipping News and Barkskins
