A timeless tale of love and healing that proves it is never too late for romance

Within the shadows of night, in a grand old city, in a graceful neighborhood, there was a garden where lives would be changed and hopes renewed and two hearts forever restored.

Maggie Flaherty Welles is a vibrant, sparkling, Irish-American widow whose feisty, determined spirit is matched only by her love of life. While she is recovering from a life-threatening illness, Maggie's passion lies in her beloved garden, now thrown into disrepair with the passing of time.

When Maggie meets Tristan Mallory, the handsome landscape architect remodeling the garden next door, they begin a friendship that transforms them both, blossoming along with the exotic flowers in Maggie's garden that Tristan secretly tends to by the light of the moon. Brought together by a shared passion, Maggie and Tristan discover the sensuous pleasures of a relationship neither one had ever dared to imagine. Their romance gives proof to the restorative powers of love.

Set in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Night Gardening is an enchanting journey into a real and metaphorical garden. It is a story of love and healing that celebrates passion in all its forms in such a way that it will touch your heart and linger at the edge of your dreams.

Congratulations! You are the winner of my 12th BCiversary Book Box Raffle! I made it a small box so your Mt TBR doesn't topple over. This is a story I really enjoyed. Every time I see this at a booksale, I buy a copy to share. I hope you like it too. Happy Reading and Happy BookCrossing!

Alas, I already have a copy from another BC'r (unread), so making this available for the Aprils Showers release challenge.

changed my mind. Back in the stash.

trekwoman's bookbox; wildflower37; the prose was so lush, like the gardens it evokes. Landscape architect Tristan is remodeling the garden next door, and widowed Maggie is recovering from her stroke in her overgrown garden. The glimpse each other through the crumbing wall and begin a friendship and romance in her garden each night. He manages to get her moving to assist him (if she can't walk, can she crawl? Of course!), and the garden is returned to it's former glory. Have the tissues handy for the sad ending though.
