Laced with gardening tips, wit and wisdom, TIME IN A GARDEN is an
inspiring story of emotional and spiritual growth...for gardeners of all
ages, for mothers and daughters, and anyone struggling to bloom where
they are planted. Retired and in their sixties, Eve Brenneman and Adam
Groft land in an unlikely Eden, helping a crew of senior citizens
beautify their dying rural community by creating a perennial garden
along an interstate offramp. Eve is widowed, estranged from her
daughters. Adam has spent a lifetime avoiding relationships and
expectations that he run the family nursery business. When Eve starts
writing a garden column in the local county weekly, these unforgettable
characters embark on a heartwarming, poignant journey to discover love
and meaning and cope with growth and loss in the changing season of
their lives. In Eve's words: "We all do battle with stony ground and
unseasonable dry spells over the years. Though we may not call ourselves
gardeners, it is the human experience."
