About This Book
After all the curtain calls and the audience's uproarious cheers, Aden Malloy, a new Broadway musical star, is attacked in an alley after opening night. Left broken and crumbled among the hard bricks and cold stones just outside the theater's stage door, she wanders through the alley like a spirit, caught between her injured body, her lost voice and lofty dreams, and the gate to Glory. Without telling Aden, Grandma Malloy plants pots of flowers on Aden's apartment terrace, gardening therapy for relaxation and hope. Aden hates the space, the garden in the sky. The blossoms represent change and all she has lost. She must make peace with her body and her physical limitations, and find alternative therapies to stay positive. Healing begins when her high school boyfriend, Scott Russel, comes for a Thanksgiving visit. But will Aden be able to return to her beloved musical, Honeysuckle Rose, unable to sing? Will Scott be there to stop Aden's assailant the next time he stalks her, ready for a second attack? Will Christian personal growth be the key to overcoming her crippling grief over what she has lost? If she accepts the garden, is that giving up, or giving in to God's new plan?
