Leota's Garden -- Francine Rivers

<b>"An emotionally compelling story" (<i>Library Journal</i>)</b> about the devastation secrets can unleash on a family and the power of grace to bring second chances, from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Redeeming Love</i> and <i>The Masterpiece.</i><br/><br/>Leota's garden was once a place of beauty, where flowers bloomed and hope thrived. It was her refuge from the deep wounds inflicted by a devastating war, her sanctuary where she knelt before a loving God and prayed for the children who couldn't understand her silent sacrifices.<br/><br/>Now, eighty-four-year-old Leota Reinhardt is alone, her beloved garden in ruins. All her efforts to reconcile with her adult children have been fruitless, and she voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend.<br/><br/>Then God brings a wind of change through unlikely means: one, a college student with an agenda all his own who thinks he has all the answers; the other, a granddaughter Leota never hoped to know. But can the devastation wrought by keeping painful family secrets be repaired before she runs out of time?<br/><br/>"Rivers is a master gardener . . . using poignant humor and bittersweet revelation to open hearts to reconciliation."<br/>--<b><i>Romantic Times</i></b><br/><br/>Also available in <i>The Francine Rivers Contemporary Collection</i> (e-book only).<br><br><b>Author:</b> Francine Rivers<br><b>Publisher:</b> Tyndale Fiction<br><b>Published:</b> 07/09/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Typ
