Summary: Bad Girl Creek c'est moi
Review: This was truly a fantastic read. In the beginning of the book wheelchair bound Phoebe is willed a failing flower farm by her flamboyant Aunt Sadie. In order to keep from loosing the farm she so dearly loves she takes on 3 female roomates who in addition to paying rent agree to do four hours of farmwork per day. Each woman has had a patch of bad luck that brings her to the farm and in the span of 1 year we hear each of their stories. The women become friends and learn a fair amount about themselves and farming via the gardening journals Sadie has left behind. It was a beautiful story of female friendships. My only complaint is that it had to end... I could go on reading about Phoebe, Ness, Nance & Beryl forever.
