In her insightful and unconventional memoir, It Takes a Lot of Sh*t to Grow Beautiful Flowers: A Gardener's Guide to Life, author Deborah Holmen teaches us that the challenges and strife - or rather the sh*t we face in life -- are there to make something beautiful out of it.

She demonstrates how even the most challenging and unpleasant situations can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful. This book is filled with her wisdom and wit, offering readers key takeaways to cultivate a beautiful life. Just as a flower can thrive with proper care and attention, every person should have the opportunity to succeed regardless of their circumstances. "Ironically, the word 'shit' makes me cringe. I never used curse words to emphasize my meaning or stance on things- there are better words to describe a person's feelings than profanity. However, I realized that when talking to many trauma survivors, this term was used frequently. It was like it represented the worst situation, feeling, or moment that summed it all up, and only those types of words fit precisely and said it all." ~ Deborah Holmen, It Takes a Lot of Sh*t to Grow Beautiful Flowers: A Gardener's Guide to Life "Holmén's memoir transcends a simple recounting of events, offering instead a compelling framework for personal introspection and transformation. Her seamless blending of past and present, combined with her perceptive insights and genuine empathy, helps readers untangle their own narratives with clarity and compassion. The book becomes a sanctuary where reflection, self-love, and self-actualization thrive. More than just a memoir, it serves as a guide to overcoming adversity and fostering personal growth, inspiring readers to embrace their unique journeys and emerge with a renewed sense of possibilities and a brighter, more enriching life." ~ Ida Covi, MA., CEO of iRewild Institute "Holmen's holistic approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of life, highlighting the importance of nurturing oneself in different areas. Readers will find inspiration in the book's message of resilience, growth, and transformation, learning how to overcome obstacles and cultivate beauty in their lives. This book is not only informative but also deeply appealing, enhancing the reading experience with its vivid imagery." ~ Ben Angel, Bestselling and Award-Winning Author, Unstoppable: A 90-Day Plan to Biohack Your Mind and Body for Success
