Neri has learned to make a living garden look as though it has always belonged behind the glass. Aboard The Seeker, its ornamental plants offer comfort, pleasure and a place to gather. They hold memories of her mother and work she is proud to continue. But preserving that view takes space, water and skilled hands. When her daughter Avra needs practical growing experience, Neri begins to see how often the garden's finished beauty depends on leaving someone else's work unfinished. Avra wants to follow living plants through their changes, and the opportunities she misses cannot be restored by explaining what happened afterward. Changing the garden will touch more than the plants. Neri's brother offers help she does not know how to accept. Her husband has work and friendships beyond her plans. The people who cherish the display have something real to lose, and the people asked to create its replacement have limits of their own. To make room for her daughter's future, Neri must decide which parts of the inheritance she loves can endure, and what she has mistaken for hers to preserve. The Garden Behind Glass is the second novel in The Seeker Inheritance, a story of family, skilled work and the difficult choices behind a beautiful place.
