Check out the stunning exterior for The Gardener’s Wife’s Mistress by Cassondra Windwalker. We love the evocative art for this stunning novel about nature and grief, and one couple’s history of love and loss.
Here’s the book’s description:
Hayden Hill has always felt most comfortable with his hands in dirt, nurturing life. He designs natural spaces for others and seeks refuge in his backyard garden of fruits and vegetables, flora, and shade-giving trees. When he finds himself suddenly a widower, he’s thrown into an unexpected vortex of pain, shock, and guilt. As Hayden struggles to get through the torment of each day and keep his landscaping company functioning, a directive in Shelly’s will leads him to the discovery of a shocking secret.
As he fights to find a path through the weeds of grief, Hayden meets his wife’s secret connections and becomes involved helping local homeless teens who have been cast out for choosing to be who they are. Rocked by this new, complicated facet of Shelly’s life, he begins to question their marriage, her identity, his past choices, and whether anything he believed about his wife was ever true.
