Leota's garden used to be a lovely place where optimism flourished and flowers grew. It was her sanctuary, where she bowed before a loving God and prayed for the children who couldn't comprehend her quiet sacrifices. It served as her haven from the terrible scars caused by a horrific war.
Leota is alone at eighty-four, her cherished garden in ruins. Her attempts to make amends with her grown children have been ineffective. She confides in her lone friend, a loving father, about her desperation.
And God uses unexpected people to bring about a wind of change: one is a college student who believes he knows everything, and the other is Leota's granddaughter who never expected to know. But before she runs out of time, can the destruction caused by holding bitter family secrets be undone?
