And the Silent Spoke is a rich collection of true stories based on one woman’s adventures exploring Earth’s remote indigenous villages for ancient medical treatments. Projecting herself into the future, Amy Greeson recounts stories from her treks through the Amazon, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and the Republic of the Congo. These expeditions allowed for encounters with elders and healers, and challenges including oppressive swarms of bees, tribal fighting, and the devastation of lands, cultures and species. During her journeys, she discovers much more than the healing plants she expected: an endless network of love, friendship, and humanity and the realization of the significance of every lifeform on Earth.
