Review from Lana Valley:

This isn’t just a story about a burl , or a magical piece of wood . This beautifully written Memoir is a story about life, a journey.
A story of friendship, sadness , happiness , and perseverance.
A story about a goal that was set , that was far exceeded, even when faced with negative odds .
When I read this Memoir, I couldn’t put it down , finding myself completely immersed in it and feeling like I was right there, through every chapter . I enjoyed reading this so much ! Thank you for sharing this story with us , I encourage everyone to have a read 🫶🏻
