Vowing to spend one summer in blessed solitude, a witty, weary woman withdraws to her rambling garden in the country. Among roses, bees, rainstorms and unruly children, she keeps a candid journal of mornings alone, awkward callers, marital truce, and hard-won peace. Nature’s rhythms and sly humor turn irritation into wonder, revealing how quiet can replant a life.
