From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] A lethal car accident directly outside her front door robs Lilian Girvan of her young husband, Daniel and throws her into a deep depression which requires hospitalization. Three years hence, Lili is now adjusting to parenthood as a single mom and her job as a book illustrator is suddenly in jeopardy, adding more unneeded stress to her life. The Garden of Small Beginnings is filled with laugh-out-loud humor and Waxman has magically created a book that fully captures the experience of love, loss, unmanageable grief, vulnerability, and the courage required to love again. This is a fun read, complete with a happy ending that’s sure to satisfy.
