Summary: Behaving As If the God in All Life Mattered
Review: Excellent, excellent book. Well written, true account of one person's growing up under exceeding adverse conditions - surviving it, and discovering that there is more to 'life' than what she had been taught by the two-leggeds in her life. A courageous lady - saying her story - and venturing into realms that are not 'ordinary' or 'normal' but very very Natural. :-)

Summary: We need more books like this
Review: I don't want to give anything away but after reading this book, I can only conclude that Machaelle Wright is an extraordinary human who, though she has experienced true hardship, has found an astonishing relationship with nature and the universe. She is thoughtful and spiritual, and nobody's fool! As for her work with nature, she proves that insects are not "pests" but vitally essential to life on Earth and gives a viable alternative to killing or using chemicals to reduce the insect or animal population, an alternative that I have adopted with success! This book has transformed my relationship with the world.

Summary: An Excellent Introduction
Review: I found this an excellent book because the author puts her money where her mouth is. She explains where she comes from and how she got where she is as part of the full story of her percpetion of the Universe. I also use her flower essences that are based on her farm and concepts and they seem to be helping to expand my life. The depth and thoroughness of her approach, along with the emphasis on balance and humility instead of right-wrong and arrogance, supports the accuracy of her perception. It is an excellent introduction to a wider understanding of Life and the Universe.

Summary: Behaving As If the God in All Life Mattered
Review: I had *just* finished this author's book on flower essences (another 5-star one in my opinion, though I haven't gotten to writing that review yet), when I felt drawn to reading her personal story. And what a story it is!Watching her grow from introspective, imaginative child to "how in the world did she survive all that? " teen, to awe-inspiring woman of nature, Machaelle Small Wright takes you on a spiritual journey you will not soon forget. And she does it with wonderful self-effacing humor and a down-to-earth grittiness that draws you toward her, rather than dismissing her as someone unusual. She states we ALL have this potential within us, and I'm prone to believe her (from my own experiences.) So if you are interested in how to live more in harmony with our world, period, or just like reading a good story--this book has it...Get it. Read it. And never be the same (in a GOOD way! :)

Summary: Excellent
Review: I knew it was all true when I was a small child. Yet, my senses dulled as I got older and I forgot what was once "second nature." If you have any doubts about "the smalls," or "fairies," or "gnomes," read this book. It will all become very real again. Against all odds, Machaelle Small Wright proves miracles do occur.

Summary: Machaelle helps remind us of what life could be like.
Review: Machaelle writes openly of her life and her experiences. This book is invaluable in understanding why it is so important to honor life on this planet. To share that honor with all that exists. For too long we have dominated the planet with no concern for the animal & mineral kingdoms, but this book reminds us of the power of growing and living consciously. It is a must for all who want to live more in touch with this planet we live on..

Summary: What's this crap about fairies indeed!!!
Review: Oh my goodness, if you think this is a book just about fairies, or gardening, think again. Actually just get the book, it'll knock your socks off regarding your reality re Nature.. hint.. It's all Nature.. asphalt, polyester, living in Manhattan.. This book will inspire you to reconnect to your roots (ha ha) by redefining the world we live in. MSW's 20 yrs plus contribution to this planet as a co-creative researcher/scientist/gardener is one of the most useful, brilliant, radical, yet seemingly normal tools that you could have to make your life more livable, enjoyable. This book will shift your reality indeed, for the better.
