You will be pleased to know that she has a third book out - "Gardens of Awe and Folly: A Traveler's Journal on the Meaning of Life and Gardening". As soon as I have quit swooning over "Le Road Trip", her new book will find its way to my book shelf.

Like you, I was drawn to Swift's wonderful illustrations. Then I loved her descriptions of her neighbors and the animals around her. I didn't know she had another book.
