About this listen
Noosa Heads, 1987: Newly divorced Cynthia has returned to her home town from Los Angeles to reconnect with her 19-year-old daughter, who is pregnant and determined not to listen to her mother's advice. Cynthia's former best friend, Lorraine, has been stuck mowing lawns as part of a business she shares with her husband - his dream, not hers. When Cynthia convinces Lorraine to join the local Sunshine Gardening Society, they meet young widow Elizabeth, and rootless, heartbroken Kathy.
The four women soon discover the society is much more than an opportunity to chat about flowers. Rather, it offers them the chance to lend a helping hand to people whose lives need a bit of care and attention right along with their gardens.
Between pulling up weeds and planting natives, the women learn from each other that some roots go deep, and others shallow; that seeds can lie dormant for a long time before they spring to life, and that careful tending is the key to lives and friendships that reach their full potential.

Wonderful
Beautiful story, in a similar style to her other novels. Loved the way that gardening has been threaded through the women’s lives and challenges.

Not sold
Was looking forward to this book as it is set close to home for me. The local areas were described well but I found the story disjointed and hard to get in to. I could not finish it although it may have improved. Not a fan of this style of narrative either which didn't help. A shame really.

Invoked throat lumps
I’m a highly sensitive empath and found this book so profound in how accurate the descriptions were for the characters introspection of their social interactions …thanks for sharing this wholesome story about how resilient and strong females are and how much we long for acceptance and belonging

Hard to keep track.
Lovely concepts, just difficult to follow as there were so many characters introduced quickly plus the dynamics and crossovers were confusing.

Disappointing
Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this story. I persisted with it, hoping the story would start to improve and get interesting but it didn't and I couldn't get into it. I didnt bother finishing it in the end. Wish I could return it.
I was looking forward to this story as I read the Swimming story by the same author and really enjoyed it. This title didn't do it for me.
