This sweet story of two people connecting in spite of every unlikely circumstance makes this a book which creates a brief "time out" of real life and a peek through the fence into a wonderful garden. If you demand realism and you can't suspend disbelief for a couple of restful hours, this book isn't for you. If you love gardening and understand how it restores the spirit, then this is a must-read. The author, E.L.Swann is an award winning children's author, which may account for why the writing in this "for adults" short novel flows so easily and clearly. This book is a little jewel which will give you a couple of restful hours out of time.
