Leota Reinhardt only has to look out her window to see how much her life has changed.Now 84 years old, her once comfortable little house with its abundant garden shows the effects of years of neglect, just as Leota shows the effect of years of yeaars of strained contact with her daughter and son.She is not prepared for the changes that will come into her life, a granddaughter who is dertermined to follow the promptings of the Spirit, a young college student, motivated by getting a grade, touched by goodness and Leota's own indominatable spirit.Francine Rivers is well known in among Christian readers (this is the first of her books I have read) and it can be a bit disconcerting to read the characters inner dialogue with a Higher Power.The characters are well developed and evolve, not change magicly...which is good.I was worried they would all see the light and the book would end.I liked many of these characters too much to be cheated that way.I hesitated to pick this up, but I am glad I did.Click Here to see more reviews about: Leota's Garden (Paperback)
