Flowers In Her Garden - E-book - ePub

Who would have thought a garden could be symbolic to the life of atwenty-something-year-old woman?Miranda Little enjoys the time spent with her God-fearing grandmother, who she lovingly calls Nana. Nana's garden is her prize possession; it is cultivated with love, life experiences, and wisdom which blooms from the petals of every flower. Miranda adores her Nana; she was practically raised by her due to the demanding careers held by her parents, who seemed to give more time to their professions than they gave to their only child.
Despite the fact that Nana gave Miranda more than enough love during her childhood to make up for what she lacked in receiving from her parents, a void still continued to grow in Miranda's soul as she became a woman. Her heart became fragile, and she longed for her mother's love and approval. From her pursuit of an occupation, to her ultimate choice of a man, Miranda's mother always seems to look down on her daughter's decisions in life.
Miranda's soul fills with more and more doubt of ever obtaining a loving and healthy relationship with her mother. It's a hard pill for Miranda to swallow, and she almost loses all hope; that is until death comes knocking at both of their doors. Reflecting on the wisdom she obtained in Nana's garden, Miranda believes that the power of prayer and having faith the size of a mustard seed will be the ultimate remedy in fixing her disheartened soul.
The seeds of prayer, faith, and love were planted in Miranda's heart from childhood; a rose grew inside her, resulting in her becoming the strong-willed Christian woman that Nana always believed she could be. But will that be enough to deter the devil from feeding Miranda's heart with fear and doubt?
