Once upon a time, a faithless twenty-five-year-old got down on her knees and fashioned her first garden. It was a sorry thing, but also a matter of great pride, this perennial checkerboard imprinted on a sloping bit of ground outside her family's kitchen door..."
Roach is back in the garden--where her readers want her!--in The Backyard Parables. Exploring the ways that gardening saved her life and meditating on the spirituality of nature, Roach reminds her readers and herself to keep on digging.
