Women gardenersFictionMillionairesDivorced women

Uprooting her children to accept a position as a billionaire's head gardener after a painful divorce, Lotte shares her new employer's passion for his garden but strongly disagrees with him and his spoiled wife on how the garden should best be cared for. After a painful divorce and a great deal of soul-searching, Lottehas abandoned her successful architectural career for a degree in Garden History, and uprooted her three children to take a job as Head Gardener to millionaire Brody Keegan. Brody is as ignorant about gardens as Lotte is knowledgeable, his tastes as loud as hers are quiet. The only things they have in common are a passion for Maddon Park and a determination to get their own way. As Lotte locks horns with her boss and his spoilt young wife she finds herself on an idealogical and emotional rollercoaster. She knows what is right for the garden, but, frightened of entanglement, she has no idea what is right for her.
