Exhausted by fruitless attempts to make a family, Eloise takes the chance of a lifetime to answer an ad in a French gardening magazine. To fly away from her life in the States and tend to both her shattered heart and the flowers of Paradise.
But why are the workers forbidden from going out during dusk? Who is the "Goddess of the Garden"? Is her mind playing tricks on her, or does she see a woodsprite flitting through the trees? The giggles and glimpses of a little girl haunt her and make her question: What is real in Paradise and what is illusion? The Alchemy of Flowers is an enchanting, modern-day take on The Secret Garden, sprinkled with magic.
At Sunny Pines Retirement Community, where the "Sixty-Two and Better " share their golden years, secrets abound. For Birdie Allen, a retired business owner and grandmother, her secret is the only thing she's got left. Getting old isn't the hardest part about life. It's the memories from more than fifty years ago of the death of her unrequited love. And Birdie's abandoned quest to root out the killer.
When Birdie ties together a string of recent murders, and a woman disappears, she's drawn into the same chase she gave up decades earlier. But this time she has the help of an eccentric community of eager new friends. And they're not alone. Restless souls are watching, including Birdie's lost love, and they sense the danger that lies ahead. Will Birdie's pursuit of a killer finally free her of regrets and allow her to embrace the beauty of the life she's created?
