In the spirit of his highly acclaimed Medicine of the Cherokee, coauthored with his father, J.T. Garrett, Michael Garrett shares with us the delightful, all-ages stories told to him by his father and other medicine teachers. Blending his background as an Eastern Cherokee with his sells as a counselor, Michael teaches us how to make sense of our experiences in life, see beauty in them, and be at peace with our choices.
