I'd love to have enough space on my property to have my own little medicinal plant patch. I've got several of the ones noted in this book, and I'm going to keep an eye out for others.

This is the book that helped inspire the 4B movement in Korea. And it is absolutely devastating to read.

While I'm normally a fan of graphic novels, I think this is too intense of a story to boil down to under 200 pages. It does make me want to go out and find a longer biography of Queenie, though.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
