In the Vegetable Garden

By Kate Becker

Corinne never expected to inherit a garden-or a ghost.

When Nicola, her sharp-tongued, plant-obsessed best friend, insists that Corinne care for her prize-winning vegetable patch after her death, Corinne agrees... sort of. But gardening has never been her thing. And grief? She's winging it.

As Corinne wrestles with trellises, tomatoes, and unexpected emotions, strange things start happening in the garden. Could Nicola really haunt her from beyond-or is Corinne just losing it? Enter Sammy: the once-awkward paperboy turned unexpectedly handsome pie-bearing neighbor, who might just have what it takes to melt Corinne's cynical heart (and help her stake a tomato or two).

Equal parts funny, heartfelt, and a little bit ghostly. In the Vegetable Garden, is a story of love, loss, lasagna, and Jell-O.

A novella filled with romance, romantic comedy, friendship, and magical realism.
