"In every moment there exists a lifetime. Every day brings something good!"
4.5 stars - This story about the transformative power of an unlikely friendship unfolds beautifully. Carol Wall's memoir is as much, if not more, the story of her friendship with Giles Owita & how this gentle soul taught her about gardening & more significantly & importantly about facing life & its myriad challenges with grace, dignity, joy & serenity. As Giles teaches Carol to love flowers & to experience the joy & serenity of working in a garden, he also imparts in his unassuming way life lessons. I'm grateful to Mrs. Wall for sharing her story & the story of Dr. Owita & allowing me a window into their lives & the opportunity to hear their story.

It was easy to read with lots of gardening conversations if you are into that. It was night a page turner but a decent read about decent people.
