Snake Oil
The Art of Healing and Truth Telling
This book weaves together the beginnings of Thistle Farms with individual stories from Becca's own journey, as well as 20 women in the Thistle Farms community.
In Snake Oil, Becca tells how the women she began helping twenty-five years ago have been the biggest source of her own healing from sexual abuse and her father's death as a child.
Wise and reflective, Snake Oil offers an empowering narrative as well as a selection of recipes for oil blends that readers can make themselves.

United States United StatesThoughts from back yester years.....
Loved the simplistic and intricate thoughts of the author especially of those who shaped her childhood. Truly a highly recommended summer read to reflect on God's intricacies and how the author articulates what values, struggles, and that all work together for our good. This was my second read book by this author and love her writing style. Thank you Becca for sharing with us!

Becca Stevens wrote an inspirational account of her journey to founding Magdalene and Thistle Farms. I appreciated her honesty and universally accepting view of religion.
