Zoey's Rose Garden
How does an ordinary girl become someone who does amazing things? Pre-teen Zoey doesn't understand what it takes to have the courage to do important things like Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, and other famous people. How does someone develop that kind of confidence?
This true tale tells Zoey's story as she grows from childhood into an adult who comes up with a big idea that she thinks is worthwhile. Then, how she faces the challenge of creating an international friendship garden in China.
Zoey tells how she accomplishes this and how that opens doors to amazing opportunities for her and friendships with people from many countries.
Out of these experiences come lasting lessons in confidence, courage, and how to be successful.
This true tale is about the author. Zoey in real life is Patty Howell who is excited to share this story with her readers and hopes that it inspires others to move beyond their self-doubts to contribute to the lives of others.
In her professional life, Patty is the president of Healthy Relationships California, a non-profit organization that teaches psychosocial education programs that improve relationships and family well-being. She is the author of several evidence-based relationships skills curricula, and has personally taught these programs to thousands of people in fifteen
countries around the world.
The rose growing hobby she enjoyed with her late husband, Ralph Jones, revealed how potentially any hobby that is pursued with excellence can open unexpected doors to personal growth.
Born and raised on Martha's Vineyard Island in Massachusetts, Patty was educated at Northfield Mt. Hermon School, Drew University, Boston University, and Washington University in St. Louis. She currently lives and works in San Diego County, California.
