Touting Our New Book

Rose Marie Nichols-McGee, Cathy Wilkinson Barash and I contributed to a new anthology that will hit book stores next week. It's called "My Mother's Garden" and is geared for Mother's Day gifts. The book is a collection of stories about gardening and family. The three of us are in good company; others among the 24 contributors include Barbara Kingsolver, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Penelope Hobhouse, Jamaica Kincaid, Dominique Browning and Sharon Lovejoy.

Many of the stories are very personal. Rose Marie tells how her Greek mother strongly influenced her gardening passion and how the family nursery business was started. Cathy talks about the short 4-1/2 years she had with her mother and how the delightful woman taught her how to make mud pies and eat flowers.

If you write a newspaper or online column that will run in the next six weeks or so, and if you want a review copy, email Meg Leder at Penguin Books USA, the publisher.
