Amy James is a good wife and a good gardener. Married to renowned architect Graham James and employed as a part-time garden columnist, Amy has almost enough to keep her happy. Engaged in researching a new book?a collection of essays about women who garden?she unearths a long-lost desire for independence, fresh relationships and a surprising ambition. When her husband reveals his Alzheimer?s diagnosis, insisting she keep it a secret, their life together is upended. Torn between Graham?s needs and the demanding schedule set by her agent, Amy tries to please everyone. As tension builds along the fault lines of a long and unexamined marriage, Amy struggles to prioritize her own happiness, on a journey that ultimately threatens her family, her career, and her emerging sense of self. Urgent, lyrical, and intelligent, A Garden of Her Own is a startlingly intimate portrait of a marriage, of a woman in a marriage, and a moving exploration of life?s largest commitments.
