Book Description
Bowing, I accept the sword, turn to the bully, and silently wait. Today I will die. It will be a death in a battle for pride and acceptance. The challengers are brave and willing, but undisciplined and chaotic. My katana meets their willingness to charge forward and attack their death. My friend Masa knew the secrets of the shrine and why it was built on the mountain. We step into the round room, the small light increasing as it bounces from the smooth walls. The Samurai vowed loyalty to the Shogun. The Shaolin monks vow faithfulness to the discipline at the heart of Gung Fu. They never stray from the training. The Shaolin never fail to stand and answer when called. True Gung Fu warriors can surpass time and place. The Shaolin are wizards. I never stray from the training.

“A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling.

She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world.

Book Description
It is spring, 1864. Johnathan and Esher, paramours, survived serving in the Civil War as Union soldiers, and now they are on their way to achieve their dream: homesteading on land in the Dakota Territory, together. Togetherness is Johnathans dream, just he and Esher, living, loving, and farming their land. Eshers dream is to have a family. While on a wagon train, he met Gladys and found a mother. Now the three of them will be homesteading. But Esher also wants a wife and children. They meet Bethany and her two children; it is a dramatic meeting. It looks like a family is in the making. Johnathan fights for his dream. This puts him at odds with Gladys, Bethany, and lastly, Esher. His fight is especially painful because it resurrects the demons that have plagued him since he was a boyburied memories of his murdered mother at the hands of his father, and the misery of cold bones he acquired from his fathers touch. He feels compelled to preserve his mothers legacy, her screams and blood, but to do this he must keep the cold he inherited from his father. It is admirable that Johnathan will fight for his dream, but his efforts threaten to wreak havoc on the newly formed family. Something has to give. Something has to go. The adage is that love heals, and Sweetgrass is a love story.

Book Description
There may still be time for a despondent, mysterious old house with tiny pineapples carved on its eaves to fulfill the dream of one of its owners over seventy years ago. But in order for that to happen, two retired ladies, one black and one white, must unravel the mystery that surrounds both the house and the children who have come to believe it belongs to them. It's these children, living in the apartment complex across from Blessing Path, that most need the puzzle solved because the "For Sale" sign just placed amid the weeds in the front yard seems ominous to them. The clues include old newspaper clippings, a policeman's chance meeting with a soft-spoken genteel visitor, love letters during World War II, and a mason jar, recently excavated from the backyard that is filled with exquisite patterned shells of the sea, long protected by its rusty cap. Together, these pieces of information draw the ladies from the heart of Texas to the sparkling South Carolina coast and deep into the culture of Charleston and its Gullah heritage. Sweet Grass Memories was built on Texas soil, but if you cross her threshold and wait quietly for a few moments, you might just catch a whiff of pluff mud and taste the saltiness of sea air.
