Grief, friendship, and a new beginning in East Nashville

Sandra’s move from New York City to East Nashville is meant to mark a fresh start, but a new home and a change in her working life cannot by themselves quiet the loss she carries. The story sets her grief alongside an unexpected bond with Mark, her elderly, widowed neighbor and a retired pastor. His experience with gardening, which began after his own wife died, gives their connection a practical as well as spiritual dimension. The description frames healing as something that may emerge through companionship, faith, and tending to what is growing—even as the possibility of further heartache remains.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction centered on grief and the possibility of healing.
  • Readers drawn to stories of intergenerational friendship and community.
  • Readers seeking Christian fiction with themes of faith and gardening.

Book overview

From the multi-award-winning author of An American Immigrant comes the story of a woman walking through paralyzing grief and the unlikely friendship that might unlock a path to healing.

When Sandra and her family move from New York City to East Nashville for her husband's job, she is hopeful for a fresh start. While she will deeply miss her tight-knit family and thriving career, she is desperate to leave behind the city that holds her greatest loss.

But Sandra quickly learns that moving into a new home she designed and having the freedom to be a stay-at-home mom for the first time is not what she thought it would be. Sorrow still follows her, and no new place can fix it.

When she meets her next-door neighbor, Mark, who is an elderly, widowed, retired pastor, an unlikely friendship quickly forms. His humor, spiritual wisdom, and affinity for gardening--a skill he was forced to learn when his wife passed away--brings a welcome distraction from Sandra's suffocating grief, giving her hope for the first time since her tragic loss. Will this friendship be just what she needs to heal her broken heart? Or will unexpected news leave Sandra with even more heartache?
