An illuminating and enlightening book, beautifully illustrating the importance of place on our mental and physical wellbeing.

-- Andrew Greig, author of At the Loch of the Green CorrieQuietly moving... a timely reminder of the stabilising effects of attachment to place.
-- Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well Gardened MindLinda Gask's writing and wisdom about depression are like no one else's and I turn to it time and time again to feel the comforting chime of shared experience.
-- James Withey, author of The Recovery LettersIntriguing, poignant and highly readable.
-- Sir Simon Wessely, Regius Professor of Psychiatry, King's College LondonThis is recovery not as a political stick with which to beat the disenfranchised, but self-help and self-care that is truly transformative.
