Reviews

"A pleasure for . . . readers whose need for an everyday spirituality . . . extends to the garden." --"Library Journal"
"Norris cycles through the four seasons of a gardener's heart. Norris . . . writes lyrically about dormancy and transformation, soil and nourishment, roots and blossoms . . . Norris's short reflections are balanced by quiet and meditative poetry on facing pages, inviting deeper rumination about how God can be discovered in the act of gardening." --"Publishers Weekly"
