Bloomin' in all the right ways
Downloaded this book early today - figured I could have an option to read while I waited at a doctor appointment - started reading and other than coming home from the doctor didn't get anything else done! Terrific story telling - I am also a widow and hesitated to read yet another sappy story that slapped a load of spiritual platitudes on my broken heart - well glad I took a chance 'cause this was SO good. Wish I were a real gardener not a buyer and planter of doomed vegetation but Mibby is a dear and I wish I could have her for a friend as well as a "garden designer". Wow I wanted to hate that Earring Girl too! Sighed over the hunky Ben and shuddered at the slobbery mess Blink left on everyone -- read this book - it'll make you glad God gives all His children blessings even if our parents didn't, couldn't, did not want to -- and family is the group of people you care about - not just someone who shares your DNA.
Thank you for writing, Patti Hill - I'm reading!
A Watered Garden..... Grows
In Like a Watered Garden we are introduced to Mibby who is struggling to deal with the loss of her husband. He was killed while riding his bicycle through town. She is not prepared to raise a son, who is also grieving, by herself. Fortunately, she has a small business designing and maintaining landscapes. Unfortunately, she must grow her business to pay all her bills.
One day, as Mibby was returning home, she saw an unfamiliar, beat up car pulling away from her house. Then while in the grocery store she realizes the young woman who has spoken to her several times while shopping is following her. Mibby runs out of the store trying to catch her but she's too late. She starts to worry when she sees the same car racing out of the parking lot. Who is this woman and what could she possibly want from her?
Patti Hill is a good storyteller who has the ability to engage her readers. I cared about Mibby and wanted to know what was going to happen next. Can she move past her grief to enjoy a relationship with her son? Can she believe in the possibility of sharing herself with new people who care for her? I liked the characters. The plot is interesting and uplifting in spite of the difficult issues it explores. There is just enough humor to break the tension that naturally occurs. I will be reading the second installment of this trilogy: Always Green. If you haven't discovered Patti Hill this is a good place to start.
Five Stars
I love every book Patti Hill has written. This is true of this book too.
Like a Watered Garden ...watered with love.
Oh my ... I laughed ... I cried. Like a Watered Garden is one of the most heartwarming books I've read in a long time. Mibby, the main character struggled to survive and succeeded in ways beyond comprehension. She fell to the depths of her soul and soared to new heights. She lost a husband and gained a daughter. She accepted love and friendship from her neighbor Louise who showed her God's way of helping and protecting us. Please, please read this book. You will NOT regret it.
