Summary

"In the Pennywort Gardens, there is a garden of edible flowers, a garden meant for touching, and one in which the flowers only bloom at night. It is even said that there is a garden that brings back memories you had forgotten. Since her mother's death 5 years ago, Olivia has been carrying on her legacy, caring for Pennywort Gardens and running an informal program that provides safe haven to women in exchange for their help with the lush gardens. The townspeople hate having what they call a "halfway house" around, and Olivia's neighbors are convinced she's using more than her allotment of water in a drought year, and keep calling the police. But Olivia has secrets of her own and needs everyone to just keep their distance. When a childhood friend, now a cop, is assigned to investigate the neighbor's complaints, he takes more than a passing interest. And one of the women visitors may have a secret from Olivia's past that could change everything. Soon, Olivia is going to have to face up to the promises made in the garden so long ago"--, Provided by publisher
