This book is great! It’s about a little girl, a conflicted killer who never really killed anyone, a group of knitting old ladies, and Marlana, 16 and pregnant and hoping to die. So all these people come together in this ratty neighborhood nobody has lived in for years, and they all turn it into an amazing garden. They become friends and are all happier than they have been in a LONG time! But then this greedy fat man comes and wants to sell all the amazing hard work, and he will get all the credit. He wants them to be his servants and still work on the garden!! It’s a great book!! [animalxxlover]
