Simple, sweet, and if I was in a sad mood I definitely would’ve cried while reading this.

Goodness gracious. Sy Montgomery blends the scientific and the spiritual in a way that speaks to me. There is love on every one of these pages, even when she's describing a tough time. Sy's inspirational in that she's built a life that is unconventional and yet perfect for herself. It's adventurous and yet homely and cozy. I admire how candidly she writes about the tough times and her complicated relationship with her family. Her husband, Howard, sounds so lovely. And Sy is a Jane Goodall fan so you know she's a real nature lover. This was a great book to read for this season in my life which has had less nature and travel than I would prefer.
