The garden of small beginnings  Cover Image Book Book

The garden of small beginnings / Abbi Waxman.

Waxman, Abbi, (author.).

Summary:

"Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years, ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she's just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks--like the gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. After recruiting her two girls and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles Botanical Garden feeling out of her element. But what she'll soon discover--with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners--is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not." -- Back cover.
