    Thumbs up BOOK REVIEW - Leota's Garden

    Written by Francine Rivers.

    Once Leota's garden as a place of beauty--where flowers bloomed and hope thrived. It was her refuge from the deep wounds inflicted by a devastating war, her sanctuary where she knelt before a loving God and prayed for her children who couldn't understand her silent sacrifices.

    At eight-four, Leota is alone, her beloved garden in ruins. All her efforts to reconcile with her adult children ave been fruitless. She voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend.

    And God brings a wind of change through unlikely means; one, a collage student who thinks he has all the answers; the other, the granddaughter Leota never hoped to know. But can the devastation wrought by keeping painful family secrets be repaired before she runs out of time.
    This is an absolute wonderful book by Rivers. Her description of her garden as both a healing and spiritual place is incredible. Each time I look at my garden now, I'm reminded of this book and how a garden can be such a place of healing and such a spiritual place all in one.

    Rivers does a wonderful job of showing a divided family and how family secrets can cause so much hurt and misunderstanding.

    I would highly recommend this book for all to read.
