At a time when there is increased awareness of depression and the 'natural disaster of the century' that now occurs almost every year, THE GIFT OF NATURE is uplifting as it applies the timeless wisdom of Mother Nature to human nature. THE GIFT OF NATURE offers readers hope and strength through insights and inspirational quotes from an author who has bounced back from setbacks. During waves of change or winds of woe, when our clarity of thinking vanishes in a mist of tears, lessons of resilience from a wondrous array of natural resources and human endeavours can help us clear the mental fog and better cope with the challenges of living.
