Tending Roses Tending Roses, Book 1, (Paperback)

"Maybe you should start wanting less." Arriving at her grandmother's home, Kate Bowman comes prepared to care for her aging family matriarch, temporarily relocating with her husband and baby son on an extended maternity leave. What she finds on the Missouri farm is far richer than anything money can buy; for she finds peace, contentment, and renewed relationships with those who should be and could be dear to her heart. She listens to stories, she reads journals, she patiently endures her grandmother Rose's tendency to be cantankerous and bossy; all while her priorities quietly realign themselves and the once murky future becomes brighter again. For now, Kate can hear wisdom's soft whisper . . . "the best times of my life, the times that passed by me the most quickly, were the times when the roses grew wild." "The secret to a happy life is not in getting what you want. It is in learning to want what you get." "Tending Roses"; a beloved story by a most gifted storyteller, will surely resonate in the minds of its readers for years to come, as each one contemplates how to tend the roses that God has given them.
