I felt as if I had spent my whole life nibbling a piece of stale white bread in a closet and had missed the banquet table on the other side of the door. Elizabeth's story is like that of a garden left untended for too long, with weeds as bounteous as blossoms and stone walkways buried beneath tangled vines and daffodils. Beauty to be found, though amidst much neglect. When betrayal strikes at the heart of her very existence, Elizabeth Landis retraces the path of her life and her marriage, discovering along the way memories both painful to the touch and a joy to embrace. Pruning the garden of her life requires an honesty new to Elizabeth, but offers the promise of mercy and perhaps even a grace to bestow. - Back cover.

Table of Contents

Part one.
Against thy mandolin
Home of long tides
Whose hands shipwreck vases
The edge of the receding glacier
Where a garden once was kept
Three foggy mornings and one rainy day
How lucky, little tree
Sorrowful noise overhead
Like a map of all the world
Part two.
Great expanse of green
Under the gypsy moon
And buried it deep, deep
How dark the hemlock wreath
From silver aslant
One far fierce hour
The blood flowing back
In shadowy silent distance
Part three.
With low sounds by the shore
The birth of the simple light
Free of our bridges
In a room with paintings
While the sun walked high
What scent of old wood
Range after range of mountains
The colored night around
The trumpet of a prophecy
Part four.
Across the glittering sea
A thousand days of words
Sweet impossible blossom
The fall of your soft song
Every farthing of the cost
The touch of earthly years
Bringer of new things
