Status Updates From Why Women Grow: Stories of ...

This makes me want to start gardening even more

I have seen a lot of comments about how the author isn't self aware... Did they read the same book as me?

Privilege is mentioned as a way of justifying and ending her responses to these women for sharing their life’s. Good and bad. I have seen a lot of people commenting their annoyance on this, nevertheless this is about the author and her experience.

It makes me a bit sad to see all the 2–3 star reviews of this book. What I’m reading is a woman in awe of how gardens mirror people’s lives, in the same way people often choose dogs that look like them. I find it really beautiful. At the same time, I understand the readers who say the book “just wasn’t for them” – it’s a white woman's reflections on - her life to be, and not everyone is going to connect with that.
