The Garden of Small Beginnings

Author: Abbi Waxman

Lilian Girvan’s life took an unexpected turn when her husband died in a car accident. Now, three years later, she’s a single mom juggling work, two daughters, and a sister who’s determined to drag her back into the land of the living. When her boss assigns her to illustrate a vegetable encyclopedia, Lilian finds herself enrolled in a gardening class. Surrounded by quirky characters and budding plants, she discovers that new beginnings can sprout in the most unlikely places. With humor, heart, and a touch of dirt under her fingernails, Lilian learns that sometimes, the smallest seeds can grow into the most beautiful gardens.

Life is never what you expect, and that's the beauty of it.
