I picked up The Cross Gardener because I had been hoping to read something by this authoe. It was a wonderful choice. The story about a boy whose mother dies after giving birth to him on the side of the road. The story follows him through adoption at five and the love of a girl he meets in school. They marry and Lou Lou their daughter comes along. Soon Emma Jane is pregnant with their second child, a boy they are naming Willard. A car accident takes mother and unborn child leaving loss, sorrow, and griief behind. The Cross Gardener comes along and helps guide John through this rough time. Teaching him things he has forgotten.
This book is wonderfully written, the story brought tears to my eyes, but also uplifted my spirit. I would recommend it to anyone.
