Description: "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
