If your life has its stressful moments (and whose doesn't) and you long for simpler times this book will help get your mind there. I love gardening, which is why I requested this book. I found myself going to it each night after a hectic day. Swain shares his memories and thoughts on topics of gardening and preservation and makes them seem almost romantic. I know we're here to swap, but i think I'm keeping this one. :-)
