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.”

“A powerful story of friendship and courage in the midst of frightening circumstances….I highly recommend this wonderful love story.”

“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
