About this ebook
When translator Inez Sato is hired to restore the multilingual labels for the long-shuttered Marbury Conservatory, she expects a tidy archival job, not daily clashes with Bram Alder, the practical landscape gardener leading the plant rescue. The conservatory has three months before a public reopening tied to a city arts grant, and every repaired bench, bed, and brass plaque must be ready for donors, inspectors, and a promised winter gala. Inez is hiding a fear that her silence in two languages has made her a fraud; Bram is hiding the terror that one failure will cost him the only place he has ever made bloom. As frost works at the panes and old plant records reveal a story of loss, they discover that rebuilding a public garden can also expose the parts of themselves they have kept sealed for years.
