About this ebook
Elizabeth's story is like that of a garden left untended for too long, with weeds as bounteous as blossoms
and stone walkways buried beneath tangled vines and daffodils. Beauty to be found, though amidst much neglect. When betrayal strikes at the heart of her very existence, Elizabeth Landis retraces the path of her life and her marriage, discovering along the way memories both painful to the touch and a joy to embrace. Pruning the garden of her life requires an honesty new to Elizabeth, but offers the promise of mercy...and perhaps even a grace to bestow.

This book was REAL! I got so impatient at times, wanting her to get on with it. But, the way she tells the story is EXACTLY the way a real person's thoughts come in. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I too believe this is a great book for the married woman.
