Publisher Description

Against the backdrop of a house steeped in history and a thriving new gardening business, three women unearth the memories of the past in the first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’ In the Garden Trilogy.

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night…

Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee. She isn’t intimidated by Harper House—nor by its mistress. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz Harper has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing In the Garden nursery.

As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and expectant mother Hayley and a fierce attraction to ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge. He’s difficult but honest, brash but considerate—and undeniably sexy. And for a sensible woman like Stella, he may be just what she needs….

    " Love the book (of course i say that about all the books i read unless you count the xanth novels and The Begariad series, no offense but they just arent for me ,) its nice and developes into a nice series but i really wish that Nora would stop all this broken record writting. All the trilogies start out the same way main character of the first book has a great tragety and for some reson travels away to start a group of six to do something, and first main character falls in love and gets married ,next book in the trilogy another main character fals in love with another main character, next book yada yada yada you get the picture. Its not that they arent great in their own way butas i like to call it i HATE broken-record writing. I read a lot of triligies by her and they all end up the same . No offense Nora but its true try reading some of your own triligies, seriously.they all go the same way . thanks for letting me rant. "
