The Gerber Inheritance

For more than 200 years, the Gerber women have been renowned for three things: their miraculous garden, a rumor that they can communicate with the bees, and the fact that none of them could keep a man.

A history of grandmothers raising granddaughters ran through the line, with the errant mothers running far from a supernatural garden where the plants make up their own minds about where they should be placed in the plot and the flowers give their opinions freely.

A decade ago, Kassandra Gerber had slunk home broken-hearted and disappointed. A condition from which she has yet to fully recover.

She might have stayed that way for another decade if she hadn't found a sleeping child amongst the foxgloves one morning. She had no idea that the moment she found the boy would mark the beginning of a series of discoveries about the garden's origins, her family's connection to the Swavely witches who lived on the hill above town, and the history of the Gerber women themselves.
