All My Wild Mothers: Motherhood, loss and an apothecary garden by Victoria Bennett

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book is one of those books that will stay will be long after the last page has been turned. At times it is incredibly sad, and explores challenging stories of grief and heartbreak. But Bennett constantly weaves light into the dark, joy into the grief and finds new life when all seems lost. This book is about creating a wild apothecary garden, witches, magic and nature, but I also felt myself connecting to the deeper themes of motherhood, resilience and growth. Bennett shows us that while there is no perfect happy life, if we plant and nurture the seeds we do have, we can be rewarded by the process and the harvest.
