Synopsis

Yorkshire, 1914. Mary Lennox thought her world didn’t need to extend past her aunt’s secret garden after finally finding a home with her cousin, Colin, and her uncle at Misselthwaite nearly six years ago. But when war breaks out in Europe, Mary realizes that she can’t control anything outside the garden walls when her childhood best friend, Dickon Sowerby, announces he’s leaving to fight, taking away both his steady companionship and Mary’s dream of something more. Things only spiral further with Colin’s sudden departure, and Mary is left to run an estate she never planned to manage.As the Great War spreads—bringing wounded soldiers, news of death, and increasing uncertainty to Yorkshire—Mary is forced to reckon with decisions she isn’t ready to make. And she can only hope that the mysterious magic of the garden that brought them all together once before reaches far enough to preserve the home and family that she waited so long to find.In this stunning continuation of The Secret Garden, author Krystal Bailey brings readers back to the garden gate and beyond with a story full of heart, familiar faces, and new beginnings.
"A wonderful sequel to a timeless classic...This imagined continuation of these well-loved characters is accomplished and engaging and utterly lovely."--Rachel Deeming, Reviewer from Discovery

Goodreads review by Kieraanne

An utter delight from start to finish! I wasn't sure what to expect from this first-time author, but all of my concerns vanished from page one as I was transported to the secret garden and Misselthwaite Manor I remembered from my childhood. The characterizations and settings were so spot on and in......more
