HTML: �A quirky, funny, and deeply thoughtful book�* that�s �filled with characters you�ll love and wish you lived next door to in real life�** from the author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years�ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she�s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is she�s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed.
At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks�like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and there�s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently, being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can�t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity.
After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden feeling out of her element. But what she�ll soon discover�with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners�is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not...
