An emotional story about 3 women living in the mountains of Virginia . Beautiful detail and biology facts. If you like books that have a descriptive setting this book is for you.

A beautiful story with characters I grew to love,  and an abundance of nature references/education. But, it took me far too long to get into. I nearly gave up several times and only persevered after reading other reviews saying it was worth it! Also agree with other reviewers that the ending did not live up to expectations.
