Both of these books cross generation lines and tell stories that demonstrate how these generations are interwoven. This author always presents a very personal study of her characters that allows the reader to jump in and feel both their joy and their pain.

On each slip they have written their hopes and dreams for the future. As so often happens, the years bring some totally unexpected twists and turns into each life and, as you read, you become personally involved and often surprised at what happens to each girl. Sometimes, you are almost afraid to reach the end for you know there will be both disappointment and heartache at life's end. During the demolition of an old building, the bottle is found by a reporter who realizes she has the makings of the story of a lifetime.
"Leota's Garden" covers three generations. After a violent rift with her own daughter that separates them for many years, Leota's grand daughter enters her life and tries to put things right. How can one generation understand another? Sometimes helping another with their relationships can help you sort out your own.This story involves both neighbor, relative, and love relationship that are so timely in today's world.
