I can't wait for this book to come out so I can recommend it to my friends. I loved all of the characters. Such a great feel good book. I love when a book makes me laugh. Please write another one with everyone in it!

this is her Debut Novel!!
I am impressed and will be looking for more by Abbi Waxman.

Her husband just passed away. She has a job as illustrator of textbooks. Her boss wants to capitalize on rebirth of interest in slow food, organic gardening, and back to the land movement' sending her to a gardening class. While learning to grow food, she grows.

I loved the gardening tips at each chapter.
I agree that most of society have lost touch with the seasons, weather, and life.

I fell in love with the characters and story, I became a part of it, and I was part of the family.
I will be looking forward to more!

The Garden of Small Beginnings was a delight to read. This book should come with a sun hat, a glass of lemonade, and a garden bench. Lilli's journey as a character was heartfelt and endearing, seasoned with just enough sarcasm. Abbi Waxman has created a meaningful story that shows how life goes on after tragedy. She proposes that when hope seems lost, you can find it again if you're willing to get your hands messy and dig in the dirt.

Lilian is a young widow with two daughters, working to move forward with her life. Her sister, Rachel, is the person she relies on and is closest to, especially after her loss. Signing up for a gardening class opens up a new set of relationships and decisions facing both sisters. Written with humor, a lovely story and a quick read.
