Synopses & Reviews
On The Faithful Gardener, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes mines the rich storytelling tradition of her own family to illustrate how faith is the one immortal force in our lives. Dr. Estes shares these ageless tales first told "... to nourish, repair, and strengthen -- whatever is most needed and wanted". What begins as a simple tale becomes the greater saga of Uncle Zovar, a quiet refugee from the Nazi slave camps, and his refusal to let bitterness darken his devotion to the earth. The final story, a vivid old country tale about "that which can never die", holds an unforgettable lesson about sacrifice and spiritual regeneration.
