Non-fiction.
😂lmao
Non fiction is right! 😂
JUST WHAT EVERY 5 YR. OLD NEEDS!
Yes, I want my child to know the values of living off the land.
Try not to be so narrow minded.
There are no desolate back hills on this planet. EFSI is alive….with life increasing in direct proportion to the absence of human habitation.
My review of this book:

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. Very appreciated. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the Santaroga river is a homage to Frank Herbert. You are the only one who has ever caught that. Good eye!
KIND NEPENTHE is also available in paperback at North Town Books in Arcata, Eureka Books and The Booklegger, Rain All Day Books in Fortuna, King Range Books in Garberville, and The Peg House in Leggett.
Several people I know are raving about the writing.
