Kitty, a teenage girl with a violent temper, becomes friends with Mr. Lovett, an old blind man, when she seeks sanctuary from her family and everyday cares in his huge, wild garden. But while the garden gives her a sense of peace, strange forces are at work . . .
I first read this book several years ago when it was on the local school reading list. I found it was a beautiful book that stirred the imagination. It's about a fifteen year old girl who becomes enchanted with an old man's garden and who soon finds herself linked to a dangerous teen who wants the man's land for his own family, to build a garage if I remember rightly. As Kitty and the teen continue to run into each other, they begin to find out that maybe they're just two sides of the same coin.
