The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman
When widowed illustrator Lilian, a single mom to two young daughters, has to take a six-week gardening class to help inform her next assignment, she expects to learn about preparing soil and growing tomatoes, not how to move on more than three years after her husband died in a car accident. She brings her children and helpful sister along and meets a diverse group of people, including the handsome and divorced instructor. The group clicks and members become friends who support one another through life's surprises while Lilian struggles to overcome her guilt and sadness. (Library Journal)
Check out an ebook or audiobook in Libby/Overdrive and/or Hoopla, or stop by the Adult Services Desk on the second floor to pick up a copy (quantities are limited). Questions? Email RSVP@orlandparklibrary.org or call (708) 428-5150 for more information.
