Helpful Score: 2

Being an organic gardener, mostly herbs and flowers, I related to this book like no other book I have read in along time. I loved it. It was eccentric enough to keep me interested page after page and I actually felt a sense of loss when I finished it. It is a good read that mixes a magical element, opposite the ugliness of spousal abuse. The plot is so satisfying and reeks of Southern graciousness. All of the characters, even the lesser mentioned ones, are quirky and strange, but you love them just the same as the main characters. I recommend this book for anyone who treasures their own memories as you will soon learn why when reading about the "sentiment tree." A "must read" that you will enjoy when wandering away from your normal reading.
