Description

At eighty-four, Leota stands alone in the ruins of what was once her most cherished sanctuary—a beautiful garden that sustained her through decades of heartache and unspoken sacrifice. Estranged from her adult children and burdened by family secrets she has carried in silence, she finds solace only in her faith and her prayers for those she loves from afar. When an idealistic college student and her long-lost granddaughter unexpectedly enter her life, Leota faces a profound question: can the deep wounds of family estrangement and hidden pain be healed before time runs out? Through the intertwined stories of three generations, Francine Rivers weaves a tender exploration of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of love and faith. This poignant novel reminds us that it is never too late to restore what has been broken and to cultivate new growth from the ashes of despair.
