Gaela's Gardens

By Debbonnaire Kovacs

Description:

Gaela Clancy, head caretaker at a garden estate, is an intensely private person with secrets she would rather forget. So when a scruffy loner with haunted eyes shows up at Eden's Gate, she runs from the memories he awakens. But, recognizing the need in his eyes, she begins to pray for him and a fragile friendship sprouts. The more she gets to know this bitter outcast, who calls himself Caine and turns out to have an incredible musical talent, the more she realizes he, too, hides a painful past. Can Caine and Gaela learn to trust again? Is it possible that hard work and the help of unlikely friends will overcome all obstacles? Maybe, just maybe, Eden's Gate can become a sanctuary for those whom life has cast aside.

Book Takeaway:

Forgiveness can always happen, even if full reconciliation is not possible.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to show that past pains and secrets don't have to define us. (And I wanted to know if I could write a book in a week!)
