At eighty-four, Leota is alone, bereft of the companionship of her adult children, who never understood the sacrifices she had made for them. She voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend. And God brings a wind of change through unlikely means: a student who thinks he has all the answers, and a granddaughter Leota thought she'd never get to know. But can the pain and suffering brought about by keeping painful family secrets be healed before she runs out of time? With skill and sensitivity, Francine Rivers explores what happens when people make choices that ffect the lives of those they love as well as succeeding generations, opening our eyes to an issue with both human and spiritual dimensions. Leota's Garden touches heart and spirit, pointing to the One whose resurrection from a Garden Tomb makes possible lasting peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Read by Flo Schmidt. Abridged. 3 hours. 3 CDs.
