Patricia S. (lucky7) reviewed on 2/12/2012

I'd describe it as a novel of magical fantasy set in contemporary realism.
Two sisters reconnect, one a gardening introvert whose "persuasive" ways with herbs and flowers made for fun reading, and the other, a rebellious teen now grown and with her own child, looking to escape an abusive relationship. Their relationship with each other develops and moves forward in this story of misunderstandings, forgiveness, love, and trust.
Two secondary characters I loved... an old aunt with the perpetual need to gift small, "seemingly useless" items to individuals and the old apple tree in the back of the garden....
A quick read that I highly recommend.
