This book gave me all the feelings. Allowing me to confront past abuse that I have been through (though much of theirs is very different from mine) and feeling the empowerment of those who've come before me and found healing in the natural world. Checking content warnings is a must for this book as it definitely covers a lot of very dark and hard to think about topics. The resilience of women and the story of this family of women breaking free of generational trauma and always helping the future generations was beautifully woven.
