He designs natural spaces for others and comes home to his back yard, where he seeks refuge amidst the fruits and vegetables, flora, and shade-giving trees. When he finds himself suddenly a widower, his garden becomes the resting place for the ashes of his wife, Shelly, and he's thrown into an unexpected vortex of pain, shock, and guilt. As Hayden struggles to survive the torment of each day and keep his landscaping company functioning, a directive in Shelly's will leads him to the discovery of a shocking secret. Fighting to find a path through the weeds of grief, Hayden meets his wife's secret connections and becomes involved helping local, homeless teens cast out by their families for choosing to be who they are. Rocked by this newly discovered, complicated facet of Shelly's life, he begins to question their marriage, her identity, his past choices, and whether anything he believed about his wife was ever true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cassondra Windwalker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Type Eighteen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798998947742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWindwalker, Cassondra:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Cassondra Windwalker earned a BA of Letters from the University of Oklahoma.
