Publisher's Summary:
With the lyrical precision of Annie Dillard and the exquisite food writing of M.F.K. Fisher, Gabrielle Myers takes us on a Northern California idyll - an internship at the Tip Top Farm and Produce in Vacaville. Here, the beauty of the land - light streaming through fig branches, carnelian tomatoes exploding in front of rows of sweet peas - is tended by the mysterious frenetic Farmer and her companion, Baker. Together with their intern, Gabrielle, the trio tends a landscape full with sustenance and life. Their days are filled with back-breaking farm labor and their nights are alive with the freshest, most creative meals imaginable. At night, Gabi lays in her yurt pondering her mother's suicide attempt, working on stories to tell herself to make it all right, while just up the hill another mind, busy as a hive, fights a storm of loss and sorrow that threatens to shatter Eden. And what of these stories we tell ourselves? Myers asks. Sometimes, they can't be rewritten.

Memoir with the right amount of plot
Myers' debut is a lovely, satisfying memoir. She captures an engrossing story arc in important time of life - somewhere after coming of age and getting over all the idiocies of your early twenties, but before reaching the calm of understanding what you will do and who you will be forever. The backdrop of an organic farm in California is beautifully drawn, as are the main characters. Hive-Mind made me want to be a chef, farmer, lesbian and poet by turns!
Beautifully crafted and profoundly written
Beautifully crafted and profoundly written. Gabrielle's willing to reveal, extrapolate, and perceive on both an intimate and external level fascinates me. Good read.

Stunning
Written with beautiful, lyrical language.
I love a book that is hard to put down
I love a book that is hard to put down! This is a beautifully written memoir that challenged me on many levels to examine my personal path: to take more risks and live more fully. She writes from a purely honest perspective about life and death and a yearning to find inner peace. Her passion for cooking, the great outdoors, and always learning is apparent throughout the book. I hope she writes another!
