The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman is a sweet, if a bit predictable, novel about a woman who lost her husband three years ago and with the help of her sister is raising her two young daughters. She gets a job illustrating a book about vegetables, so work pays for her to take a gardening class where she meets various interesting people and maybe even the man of her dreams.

There were some laugh out loud moments, make you cry moments and surprisingly tender moments. Overall I enjoyed the book. Sweet, harmless, enjoyable, just not knock your socks off great, which I was hoping for.
