"Hey Johnnie Mulchowski, are you coming out with us tonight or what?" Part self help, part a hilarious jaunt through one writer's life, Seed, Grow, Love, Write will leave every reader laughing, crying and, as author John Markowski says, "chewing" on something different. Grow with Markowski as the "Family Leaf Management Program" lures him into gardening, a love further strengthened by "The Markowski Mulch," a grand event that happened each July. Feel the relief of a clean slate provided by mowing the lawn (known as "The Theory of Vacuum Momentum"), and nod with understanding as he explains how ornamental grasses saved his life. It's not all gardening, though. There are stories of his time as a mailman, private investigator, new dad, and petty thief. You meet his grandfather, the amateur taxidermist, his wife (and editor), and blog readers, including "Allison in Ohio." In Seed, Grow, Love, Write, Markowski shows that a life lived without passion isn't really a life at all, and you'll close the book reinvigorated to find your own passion and not apologize for it. Meanwhile, you'll have had a grand time getting there.
