THE BOOK IN 19 WORDS: A CANCER PATIENT DISCOVERS THAT GARDENING IS GOOD MEDICINE - AND FINDS A POWERFUL HEALING PARTNER IN HER OWN BACKYARD.
"Jenny Peterson is a breast cancer survivor. Her long road through cancer treatment was hard, emotional, and often deeply depressing. The one thing that pulled her out of the darkness was her desire to be able to garden again. Peterson credits her garden with clearing her mental fog and overcoming her depression, physical limitations, and pain. [Her book] explores the therapeutic benefits of this vital 'earth connection'"--Amazon.com.
I recently received a book for review, "Cancer Survivor's Garden Companion" by Jenny Peterson. Not sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised with the content. It encourages the cancer survivor to go out in or return to the garden. The book is appropriate for anyone recovering from or experiencing the difficulties - weakness, lack of stamina, inflexibility, so common with many illnesses. The author speaks with authority as a cancer survivor and gardener.
