A Garden to Keep - Paperback

by Jamie Langston Turner (Author)

"When I said the biggest yes of my life before I left her house that day, I had no way of knowing I was about to be slammed up against the wall." Meet Elizabeth Landis, lover of poetry, whose life is a neglected garden. Her journey through the brambles and tangled vines of her past begins on a mild February Sunday when she is confronted with two competing forces-redemption and betrayal. As she sifts through long-ago memories and present realities, she gradually sees herself with new eyes. About this book, Andy Crouch, author and public speaker, wrote in Books and Culture (July/August 2002): "At many moments within it, Turner executes a linguistic pirouette with such finesse that I was reluctant even to turn the page for fear that the words would somehow disappear."
