The Unfinished Garden

Tilly Cole is a young widow who finds solace in the soil of her North Carolina garden, using her work as a landscaper to numb the pain of her husband's sudden death. Her quiet life is disrupted when James Nealy moves in next door. James is a high-powered software executive suffering from severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, trapped in a world of rigid routines, counting, and an intense fear of germs and 'dirt.' Despite their polar-opposite lifestyles, an unlikely bond forms when James commissions Tilly to help him create a garden to please his demanding father. As they work together, Tilly helps James confront his phobias and step into the 'messy' world of the living, while James provides Tilly with the stability she needs to move past her grief. The Unfinished Garden is a story of healing, the complexities of mental illness, and the courage it takes to let someone into a broken heart.
