A heartwarming standalone novel of new beginnings, love, and finding your community when you need them the most.

A precious heirloom passed down from mother to daughter.

Lowena Rowes beloved mum always claimed her family seed box was special. Said to contain soil from Tintagel, the mysterious seat of the legendary King Arthur, whoever made a wish upon the box would have 'a beautiful garden, bountiful crops, and love of their fellow man.' Lowena isn't inclined to believe the myth but can't part with the box, knowing how much it meant to her mum.

Starting over with a new home and a new job in the Cornish village of St Merryn, Lowena can't help feeling lost and alone. But she isn't the only one. Now, as a community of misfits finds solace and friendship in the shade of her growing garden, she realizes there might have been truth to the mythical box after all, and she may just be growing the life and love she's always wanted.
