About this listen
From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Lost Friends and Before We Were Yours comes a heartfelt novel about the bonds of family and the power of second chances.
When Kate Bowman temporarily moves to her grandmother’s Missouri farm with her husband and baby son, she learns that the lessons that most enrich our lives often come unexpectedly. The family has given Kate the job of convincing Grandma Rose, who’s become increasingly stubborn and forgetful, to move off her beloved land and into a nursing home. But Kate knows such a change would break her grandmother’s heart.
Just when Kate despairs of finding answers, she discovers her grandma’s journal. A beautiful handmade notebook, it is full of stories that celebrate the importance of family, friendship, and faith. Stories that make Kate see her life - and her grandmother - in a completely new way...
©2003 Lisa Wingate (P)2018 Penguin AudioWhat the critics say
“Richly emotional and spiritual, Tending Roses affected me from the first page. A story at once gentle and powerful about the very old and the very young, about the young woman who loves them all. In Kate, Lisa Wingate has created a wonderful character.” (New York Times best-selling author Luanne Rice)
“Wingate’s touching story of love and faith proves the old adage that we should take time to smell the roses and try to put our modern problems in perspective.” (Booklist)
“You can’t put it down without...taking a good look at your own life and how misplaced priorities might have led to missed opportunities. Tending Roses is an excellent read for any season, a celebration of the power of love.” (El Paso Times)

This is my favourite
A great novel. It’s not always you can get a book that you can relate to. A beautiful story of an old grandmothers, last wishes to bring an estranged, grieving family back together. While everyone is gathering to put the grandmother into a long term care facility, she is able to bring them home one last time and find healing!

Good story
Good story, not a huge fan of the lady reading it. Her voice is kind of blah.

Tending Roses
Wonderful bittersweet story that caused me to reflect on what is important in life. Family dynamics can often be confusing but it’s only through loving family that we are completed.

Lots of things to think about!
The lessons in this story and simple reminders are continuous. Parts of the story get a little repetitive or this would have been a 5-star review.

This is the best book I have listened to in years.. very thought provoking! Do we ever feel like we have enough time to stop and smell the flowers?
Beautifully written.. and highly recommended.. voices were easy to listen to.. just called my bestie to tell her to listen to it!

Struggled to finish
There is no suspense or wittyness or even much of a plot to this story. It is predictable and boring.
