pennygale's review against another edition
I loved his book. I look at trees in a whole new way. Trees can communicate with each other, take calculated risks, and make chemical changes (using information communicated from other trees) to fend off certain insects. Some plants protect their own. Some plants can resurrect. I enjoyed the scientific findings, her tales of struggling as a woman in the masculine world of university politics, her personal account of manic depressive episodes, and I fell in love with Bill, her constant companion. Now, I need to go plant a tree. Then, I need to tell someone about it:)

I love when great scientists are also great writers. I also love when smart people are bad drivers. It makes me feel better about all the dents on my car. Whether you read this book or not, plant a tree this year :)

Wonderful memoir. Fascinating science and very moving reflections on life.
Hope narrates the audiobook herself and does a fantastic job, though she pronounces "roots" in a wild way and may have been fully weeping during some segments and I found that overwhelming/difficult to listen to!

Just not in the right mood for this book, I’m definitely interested but I’ll wait for a time it’s higher on my priorities
