Praise for Barbara Claypole White’s debut novel,
The Unfinished Garden
“I learned so much about myself from this
story—that fear doesn’t have to hold me back, but rather, it can move me
forward. The Unfinished Garden is a touching and accomplished debut.”
—Diane
Chamberlain, bestselling author of The Secret
Life of CeeCee Wilkes
“White…conveys the condition of OCD, and
how it creates havoc in one’s life and the lives of loved ones, with style
and grace, never underplaying the seriousness of the
disorder.”
—RT Book Reviews
“A powerful story of friendship and courage
in the midst of frightening circumstances….I highly recommend this wonderful
love story.”
—Bergers’ Book
Reviews
“A mesmerizing tale of fear, loss, and
love. Tilly and James are richly drawn and wonderfully flawed characters who
embody the contradictions and imperfections that exist in all of us. Barbara
Claypole White has created a novel as beautiful and complex, dark and light,
sweet and sensuous as Tilly’s beloved garden.”
—Joanne Rendell, author
of The Professors’ Wives’ Club
“Barbara Claypole White has created such a
likable, adorable, entertaining main character that I never wanted this book
to end.”

“I found the writing style in The Unfinished Garden reminiscent
of Rosamunde and Robin Pilcher. As a fan of both, I truly enjoyed this book
and look forward to many more from Barbara Claypole White.”
