My Grandmother Carries A Machete — Liana Brooks

Grandmother has a garden--cool, leafy, green, lush... and probably about to take over the world, at this rate. Jenny watches in awe, year after year, as Grandmother keeps nature at bay, taming it with her touch--and her machete.

This year, though, something changes.

If you love stories of courage and discovery that remind us of the wild frontiers of nature, don't miss My Grandmother Carries A Machete.
