Book Description:
When Dr. Elizabeth Shreve's husband Will leaves after fifteen years of marriage, she is so devastated that she's unaware that their fourteen-year old daughter, Chloe, is dangerously in love.
But now, former patient Jack Bolton will challenge Elizabeth even more-- and in ways she never expected. Bipolar, Jack can woo plants into myth-inspiring gardens-but refuses medication, fearing it will rob him of his gift. Convinced that nothing is too wonderful to be true, he works his magic on Elizabeth, Chloe-and even Will. And with each passing day, Elizabeth is drawn closer to breaking all the rules and joining him in a summer of glorious madness...

A rich, colorful story of love, family and letting go, this book has sympathetic characters you root for. It's been compared to Alice Hoffman's work and it has some of those magical elements, but not the same sense of whimsy as Ms. Hoffman's books. But, very enjoyable - and, so vivid, the images stay with you for days.
