Carol Wall is at a turning point in her life when she meets Giles Owita, the Kenyan man who tends her neighbor’s garden. Looking into her own neglected yard, she realizes she could more than use his help. But as Giles transforms Carol’s property into a lush garden, Carol begins to form a deep, meaningful bond with Giles that transcends their cultural differences.

As the petals of their friendship begin to open, the two begin to connect over their shared experiences that exist despite their very different beginnings. Giles Owita brings his wisdom, kindness, and his bright perspective to both Carol and the reader in this joyful friendship story, inspiring you to appreciate the beauty and cultivate meaningful relationships in the garden of your life.
