Historia
The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late 20th-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. An air force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light.

I’m on my 3rd book by Ruth, she’s soothing, relaxed about culinary and I appreciate it, and is pretty honest it seems. It’s a perfect book to listen to while doing chores or driving. Just what I wanted.

Push past Waters’ voice, and you’ll love it. I’m a cook, and enjoyed her simple but relevant thoughts that led her to success. Makes me believe in my self.

I love getting to know interesting relationships especially between women. Loved watching two paths of life, and see who’s happier in the end by what choices. Competitive ladies indeed

This is definitely a book for women who are strong and wild and free so many deep-seated feelings came up in the first 20 minutes which calmed me in a strange way to know it’s OK to feel that way

By the time he was 27 years old, Kwame Onwuachi had opened - and closed - one of the most talked-about restaurants in America. He had launched his own catering company with $20,000 that he made from selling candy on the subway, yet he’d been told he would never make it on television because his cooking wasn’t “Southern” enough.

Historia
Chris Rush was born into a prosperous, fiercely Roman Catholic New Jersey family. But underneath the gleaming mid-century house, the flawless hostess mom, and the thriving businessman dad ran an unspoken tension that, amid the upheaval of the late 1960s, was destined to fracture their precarious facade. His older sister, Donna, introduces him to the charismatic Valentine, who places a tab of acid on 12-year-old Rush’s tongue, proclaiming: “This is sacrament. You are one of us now.”

Revisado: 05-01-19
Yes, this book is interesting , it makes me want to stay away from drugs. I also think the aftermath of the 50’s is nauseating...ignoring huge problems while on prescription drugs or rough and raw drugs from the 60’s and 70’s... too much awkward sadness for me, but love this book for its earlier places the book takes you
