On a small island off the Maine coast, where shell heaps still mark the shoreline and rhubarb outlasts every gardener who plants it, my great-aunt Ruth kept a journal of the turning year - the day the ice went out, the day the crocus broke ground, the day old Sam Peabody sang from the alders.
Sam Peabody's Pieplant follows her example. Part herbal, part family history, part folk magic, it gathers more than eighty plants from New England dooryards and woodland edges and follows them through British herbals, Wabanaki knowledge, household remedies, and three centuries along a single Maine coastline, from the saining smoke and sickroom sachet to the burying-ground flower and the Sunday pie.
Rooted in one family's garden and in the women who kept it, this is an herbal for anyone who ever planted something their grandmother grew - and wondered what she knew but never quite said out loud.
