A memoir about belonging and motherhood, told through the author's lifelong
passion for wild food
When Helen Lehndorf moves to the city after a childhood living off the land in
rural Taranaki, she can't help but feel different from her peers and professors.
She finds solace in long walks foraging weeds and plants along the river, but
something inside her still longs for home.
Chasing a feeling of ancestral belonging, she travels to England with her new
husband. There they learn about nature as the commons, shared between all who
encounter it - a source of delight, food, medicine.
An unexpected pregnancy in Aotearoa changes everything, and motherhood takes
over Helen's identity. When her son is diagnosed with autism, foraging becomes a
space for selfhood in a chaotic world.
Weaving memoir with foraging recipes, principles and practices, A Forager's Life
is an intimate story and a promise that, with the right frame of mind, much can
be made of the world around us....
