FROM THE BESTSELLING, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BLANKETS AND HABIBI.

I grew up harvesting that root. Ten years of my life . . . what does it have to teach me?

While rafting on the Yulong River, an injury leads Craig to rediscover ginseng – the medicinal herb, central to Chinese Medicine that he and his brother used to harvest on Wisconsin farms as kids. Overcome by his struggles with health and artistic inspiration, he allows this strange link to guide him back to his troubled mid-Western roots, and on to an extraordinary journey of learning and renewal.

Suffused in a vibrant earthy palette, this one-of-a-kind story masterfully blends memoir, travelogue and cultural history to explore and illuminate ideas of creativity, doubt, healing, comics and family dynamics.
