Photo byBook Cover off of Amazon Website

In 1918, as the war is ending, a family finds itself struggling with the loss of one of their own. Eleanor struggles to understand the new normal, without her brother. Losing him just a few days before the end of the war, it doesn't seem fair as people start to move on.

To heal, she finds herself spending time in the neglected garden behind their home. To help her feel better, her father hires a man to help restore the garden to its former glory. Jack may come from a totally different world, but he understands her grief more than anyone else in the family. As they continue to spend time together, Eleanor wonders if her family would ever accept him into their world.

Now, Marin finds herself the guardian of her fifteen-year-old half-sister Rebecca when her father and Rebecca's mother are killed in an accident. Though they don't know each other, they are forced together while dealing with their own grief.

When Rebecca suggests a fresh start where nobody knows about her loss, Marin impulsively agrees. As they move into the home that Eleanor once lived in and find a secret garden, the two find themselves working together to solve the mystery of the garden.

This series is sure to delight readers as they read more and more, finding out how two women in the same home can be quite similar.
