Growing up in the swamp, I learned from the Woman. She helped me to understand the benefits of different herbal teas.
Info about Allie: I can remember when Mother saw the Woman for the first time. The Woman wore a robe made of deer skin and a skirt made of moss. She carried a spear. Mother was speechless. I laughed to myself.
