The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman is a sweet and delightful little book. It’s easily read in a few hours and is quite enjoyable. Lilian’s husband died in a car accident three years ago and is only really beginning to surface. When her boss signs her up for a vegetable gardening class, she really becomes more like her old self, with all the self-doubt that comes along with being happy again. It’s a light story, quite predictable, but a great summer choice, nonetheless.
