One woman's journey to overcome grief by delving into an overlooked
wonder of nature.
'As the world of mushrooms opened up to me I began to see that the path
back to life was easier than I had thought. It was simply a matter of
gathering delights that flash and sparkle. All I had to do was follow
the mushroom trail, even though I still didn't know where it would
lead. What would I find in the great unknown that lay ahead of me? What
lay beyond those hilltops and mists and turns in the road?'
When Long Litt Woon loses her husband of 32 years to an unexpected
death, she is utterly bereft. An immigrant in his country, in losing
the love of her life she has also lost her compass and her passport to
society. For a time, she is stuck, aimless, disoriented. It is only
when she wanders off deep into the woods with mushroom hunters and is
taught there how to see clearly what is all around her, and learn how
to make distinctions, take educated risks, and hear all the different
melodies in Nature's chorus, that she returns to life and to living.
And it is mushrooms which guide her back. In this book, she describes
how they saved her, and how they might save you.
