Description: "Thea Chamberlin's dreams have been shattered due to circumstances beyond her control - her Thanksgiving trip to Massachusetts nothing like she imagined ... She is picking up the pieces, sorting through her emotions, and coming to terms with her disappointment. For Thea, solitude is as necessary to her as the air she breathes. An accomplished artist, and a single parent, she has lived a life peppered with one disaster after another. Now at the age of thirty-two, she creates a plan which will not only boost her self-esteem but force her out of her adult-deprived, child-oriented life. MaryAnn Wilkinson, a widow with two young sons, is overcoming her fear of loss, packing away her grief, and embarking on her journey one step at a time. She and Thea, traveling on parallel paths, build a friendship they both sorely need. Thea tends her neglected flower garden of life and finally emerges as a self-confident young woman who has found a niche in her once troubled world."--Back cover
