"Beautiful book dealing with grief... So many great quotes - but one of my favorites from page 220.. "The sooner you find God faithful in the dark places of your grief, the sooner you'll rest beside still waters in the sunshine and remember, shadows can't hurt you.""
— Jo (4 out of 5 stars)
" It's so sad. "
— Sue, 6/19/2013" Another new-to-me author. So far, it is pretty good. After finishing the book, I admit it was pretty good. I loved Louise, the neighbor. This wasn't a preachy Christian-fiction book but it had great verses through-out. "
— Jen, 12/29/2012" local author so I enjoyed that aspect, I was sobbing through the beginning but a good book overall "
— Amy, 8/24/2012" This was a good book and I loved the main character. "
— Lindamac, 6/28/2012" A nice Christian book read...especially if you like gardening. "
— Jo, 6/6/2012" Great book dealing with grief. Not over the top preachy, but great scripture references throughout the book. It does start off a little slow but it gets better as you go along. "
— Linda, 3/7/2011" A good christian novel... but I must admit the cover attracted me more than anything. A woman carrying a bucket of flowers, wearing garden clogs and driving an old beat up chevy... what's not to love about that? ;) "
— Leaon, 2/2/2011" this was a very comfortable series to read. Just one of those calm relax and enjoy kinda books. I really liked it. "
— Mylinda, 11/26/2010" A great cozy read for anyone who enjoys gardening or has recently been widowed. Great balance of realistic grief and struggles with God with the comfort of friends and grounding of family. "
