Dear Librarians,

My garden tells as many stories as I do! And it's the inspiration behind my new novel, THE HEIRLOOM GARDEN, which explores the unlikely relationship between two very different women brought together by the pain of war but bonded by hope, purpose... and flowers.

My grandma was a grand gardener and many of her original flowers (like her perfumed peonies!) now live in my garden. Each has a memory. Like previous library favorites The Charm Bracelet and The Summer Cottage, THE HEIRLOOM GARDEN is the spring "pick" for readers who love multigenerational family sagas filled with hope and history (this explores World War II Victory Gardens and 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII) as well as gardening and flowers!
