Description
A tender reimagining of The Secret Garden, exploring friendship, family and finding somewhere to belong.
Maria Latif has spent her life moving between relatives who soon tire of caring for her. When friends of her parents offer her a new start in the United States, she finds herself with an unfamiliar host family and a home full of surprises.
Then Maria discovers a nearly hidden gate to a forbidden garden. Never one to follow rules, she investigates and begins to put down roots of her own. Rich prose and free verse bring her search for belonging to life.
Written by Karuna Riazi.
