THE GARDEN OF SMALL BEGINNINGS - ABBI WAXMAN KA...

A quirky  funny  and deeply thoughtful book* that's filled with characters you'll love and wish
you lived next door to in real life** from the author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Lilian
Girvan has been a single mother for three years-ever since her husband died in a car accident.
One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later  she's just starting to get the
hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school  show up to work  and watch
TV like a pro. The only problem is she's becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed. At least
her textbook illustrating job has some perks-like actually being called upon to draw whale
genitalia. Oh  and there's that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for.
Apparently  being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means
getting your hands dirty  literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can't be
much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity. After recruiting her kids and
insanely supportive sister to join her  Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden
feeling out of her element. But what she'll soon discover-with the help of a patient instructor
and a quirky group of gardeners-is that into every life a little sun must shine  whether you
want it to or not... READERS GUIDE INCLUDED *HelloGiggles **Bustle
