I just received my copy of the outlandish companion and have enjoyed all of the topics written in the book. I was very interrested in the time travel theory and look forward to how Bree and Roger will explain their reasons for coming back to the Ridge with the children. I was very interested in the 18th century medicine and how Claire was able to make penicillin for her patients. I also have a deeper understanding of how mountain people lived for centuries using herbal medicine for most of the cures. Reading the books about life on the Ridge reminded me of my mother's hometown of Jellico. Tenn and how my grandfolks grew up in the hills and mountains of Eastern Tennessee.
