One Good Thing is a charming collision of memoir with the living, exuberant, and vulnerable natural world. Written in sixty-four short epistolary chapters, M.A.C. Farrantâs latest offering represents a search for hope and appeasement in a rapidly changing and often perplexing society. One Good Thing is also an homage to gardening columnist extraordinaire Helen Chesnut of Victoriaâs Times Colonist, each section of the book focusing and expanding on one of her gardening columns.

Using a familiar âDear Helenâ structure, almost every piece in One Good Thing intimately and playfully relates to the gardening article that gave rise to it while simultaneously ranging into myriad other topics, including the authorâs creative practice, personal and familial details, and comic riffs on a number of close-to-the-heart themes. With a mindful persistence thatâs often hilarious, the book strives to find personal âcalm abidanceâ through the practice of gardening as mediated by the universal and personal practice of writing.
