Welcome to Litsy!

Loving this book so much right now!

Almost makes me wish I was a gardener. Almost!

Some novels you just can't put down and Viola Shipman's books are those books for me. They are tender, endearing, heartfelt, soulful, hopeful with just the right element of grace and honesty. Each novel touches on a life altering element that provides encouragement that makes you smile and sometimes triggers tears to run down your cheeks. "The Heirloom Garden"- thank you Wade Rouse (aka Viola Shipman) for another beautiful novel?

We meet two women generations apart who have lost their husbands.

One has a husband who never came home from WWII, and the other is lost to PTSD.

We follow the lives of both characters present day and past.

Another heartwarming book filled with positive thoughts and virtual hugs.

The writing is beautiful just like the uplifting story line.

I love gardening and I love flowers. This story spoke to my heart with the descriptions of the flowers and the stories of the flowers. This book tells the story of Iris, a botanist in the 1940s, and Abby, an engineer in the early 2000s. Abby and her family rent a sound on Lake Michigan's shore from Iris, ⬇️

This is the ARC I'm currently reading, such a lovely read, I'm totally enjoying her descriptions of Iris's garden and flowers. If you love gardening, you definitely need to stack this book, just for the knowledge of plants!
