Grab life by the roots.
Â
Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three yearsâ€”ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, sheâ€™s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is sheâ€™s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed.
Â
At least her textbook illustrating job has some perksâ€”like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and thereâ€™s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently, being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning canâ€™t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity.
Â
After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden feeling out of her element. But what sheâ€™ll soon discoverâ€”with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardenersâ€”is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not...
