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!!!!
