Sue Hubbell writes in a very easy to read fashion. I enjoyed this book. I thought it read like a diary, as it details the authors life in the Ozarks in Missouri. She notices how God made everything to work in conjunction with everything else- it usually takes man it mess it all up!!! This is a book you will enjoy, a good take on life and nature.

Amazing book. I first read her "A Book of Bees"- and am now a beekeeper myself, with her influence significant in that decision. This one is just as good, and has extra bee anecdotes, as well as descritptions of many other things. I adored it.

Nature writing weaved into one year's reflections of an Ozark beekeeper who happens to be female.
Nontraditional careers for women hold a certain fascination for those of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's. Hubbell's joy in the simple things of life while recognizing the hardships gives hope to those of us trained to believe we cannot make it in this world without a man. A good read for a cold winter's night.

In essays as fresh and entrancing as the wilderness they, the author testifies to the wholeness and serenity available to those who live "in an untrimmed state".
