What a perfect book. Wall has such a way with words that you can't help getting lost in her imagery and hope. I believe this should be a must read for everyone. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live, this book has something to say and it's damn important too! The first part of the book is very whimsical and told from the author's personal stories and experiences surrounding nature. The second gets real though. Wall grabs your hand and forces you to grapple with your own selfish greed and how it all contributed to the destruction around us. This book will make you cry and transform your very soul. Read it and be changed!
