John Muir once said, "When you tug on a single thing in nature, you realize it is connected to everything else. "This simple but sage truth is at the heart of One Hundred Daffodils, a collection of connected essays inspired by moments that naturalist and horticulturist Rebecca Winn observed in nature that served as a path back from heartbreak to wholeness. One of the overarching invitations within the pages of One Hundred Daffodils is to look closely at the world around us, guiding readers to an awareness of nature' s power to teach, comfort, and inspire. It offers the kind of woman-to-woman, experience-to-experience, relateable connection that we often hunger for and love to share with one another. And it is a book whose words, like those of a trusted friend, are often raw, frequently funny, reliably uplifting, sometimes painfully familiar, but always vulnerable, honest and wise. Parsed into manageable essay lengths that respect the harried reader' s time, this is the kind of book women give to each other, because we' ve all "been there," and there is no more powerful and inspiring example than someone who has experienced an emotional abyss and emerged, gracefully, on the other side.
"Rebecca Winn is an artist with words. Her book, One Hundred Daffodils, proves the underestimated power of beauty to heal our deepest wounds. Using her garden, nature, and a delightful smattering of wild creatures, she weaves her midlife catastrophe into a beautifully written story of raw vulnerability, courage, and transformation. I was totally captivated and entranced. "--Arielle Ford, author of Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate "When women share the truth about life and loss, hearts can begin to heal and hope is restored. Readers will embrace that gift in Rebecca Winn' s comforting and lovely memoir on beginning again. "--Sarah Ban Breathnach, author of Simple Abundance: 365 Days to a Balanced and Joyful Life "Intimate and wise . . . Readers enduring a rough patch in life will benefit from Winn' s empathy and hard-won wisdom. "--Publishers Weekly "Rebecca Winn' s quiet reflections here remind us that the restorative powers of the natural world are elusive, enigmatic: so often, they take us far and away from ourselves, all the while rooting us firmly in who we are and where we are. Kudos to her for tracking these ambiguities with such grace and clarity. "--Akiko Busch, author of How to Disappear
