wren_in_black 's review for:
Lab Girl
by Hope Jahren
This was beautiful.
I am not a scientist. I have never wanted to be a scientist.
But this story, although told through the lens of science, is not about science. It is about life.
Although I can't qualify or quantify what I've learned about plants, friendships, and family from this book - I know I've learned something. I feel validated through this book for dedicating myself to work and to waiting to "start" a family. This is simply my journey. I feel like it's a good one most days and I think whatever it is I took from this book will make me feel like my journey is a good one on a few more days than I otherwise might.
And that is indeed something amazing to be gifted from a book.
