The forbidden garden : a novel / Ellen Herrick.

Herrick, Ellen, (author.).

Summary:

"Sorrel Sparrow has honed her rare gift for nurturing plants and flowers. Now that reputation and a stroke of good timing lands Sorrel an unexpected opportunity: reviving a long-dormant Shakespearean garden on an English country estate. Generations have tried - and failed - to bring it back to glory. Sorrel senses heartbreak and betrayal here, perhaps even enchantment. And though she knows her true home is across the sea with her sisters, instinct tells her that the English garden's destiny is entwined with her own, if she can only unravel its secrets."--Provided by the publisher.
