Reviews

Weeds is a loving, poignant, and insightful story. I'm placing my copy of it on the same shelf in my home library as the western memoirs of William Kittredge, Linda Hasselstrom, Ivan Doig, and Terry Tempest Williams. - Lisa Knopp, author of What the River Carries Funda writes about farming, family, love, and loss with the ear of a poet and the eye of a scholar... Weeds is a soulful, intelligent reexamination of what it means to be an orphaned daughter of the American Dream. - Kim Barnes, author of In the Kingdom of Men Weeds is written with a scholar's exactitude and a daughter's heart. Her book is a beautiful meditation on the generations that have lived and farmed and passed along the painful, powerful legacies of the land that claimed them. - Mary Clearman Blew, author of This Is Not the Ivy League
