I have had this book on my kindle for close to a year I would say and going into our Christmas vacation I had only read 6% of it. I found it a bit hard to get invested at the very beginning but once I finished all my MUST reads that I was really looking forward to I was left to read this on our flight back from Europe. I finished the book over the 8 hour flight and was please at how it ended. Like I said it takes a bit to get invested but once the story got rolling I really became invested in finding out how the main character transformed herself and her life. I recommend this book to more of a middle age crowd as I think they will find it more relatable but it was a good cheap read either way. It was way better than siting bored on an airplane that is for sure!
In Loretta Nyhan’s warm and witty Amazon Charts bestselling novel, a widow discovers an unexpected chance to start over—right in her own backyard.
Paige Moresco found her true love in eighth grade—and lost him two years ago. Since his death, she’s been sleepwalking through life, barely holding on for the sake of her teenage son. Her house is a wreck, the grass is overrun with weeds, and she’s at risk of losing her job. As Paige stares at her neglected lawn, she knows she’s hit rock bottom. So she does something entirely unexpected: she begins to dig.
As the hole gets bigger, Paige decides to turn her entire yard into a vegetable garden. The neighbors in her tidy gated community are more than a little alarmed. Paige knows nothing about gardening, and she’s boldly flouting neighborhood-association bylaws. But with the help of new friends, a charming local cop, and the transformative power of the soil, Paige starts to see potential in the chaos of her life. Something big is beginning to take root—both in her garden and in herself.
