hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

In the introduction, the author describes a tree in a way that I was sure had to be a reference to the Zhuangzi, maybe my favorite book. So when she did directly connect it to that book in the next paragraph I was pretty sure I was going to be able to communicate with this book. 

I think about halfway through it really clicked for me, and I was already enjoying it before that.
