Mister Owita's Guide To Gardening by Carol Wall



by




A little book with a big message,  Mister Owita's Guide To Gardening is the story of two people who become friends.  Carol hires Mister Owita to get her yard into shape and they become good friends.  But they happen to be good friends with a twist.  They are both dying.  This is the true story of how they coped with the time they had left.  The message of the book is that when life doesn't go as we planned out there is still a lot of good in the moments that we have if we don't miss those moments wasting time with  disappointment,  anger,  guilt and blame.  The author has since passed away but her family keeps the web site and book signings going.  This book was number three on Oprah's book list of books every joy seeking woman should read and can be found HERE.  I know several people that would really enjoy this book and it would offer of a lot of fodder for discussion at book groups.  Please click on the links found in this blog for more information and listen to the author in the video below.
