I spent the whole time holding my breath, hoping that something terrible wasn‘t going to happen, particularly with the dog, 😬 but still loved it!

They had many rights and were not only respected but looked to for guidance on the deepest matters of life. They played every role in a community. Today, we have fallen far from the relationship we once had with nature, the living worlds around us. The book examines the demonization of women and its parallels to the⬇️
