HTML:<b>Set on a lavish California estate, <i>The Seeing Garden</i> is "a moving story with strong female characters" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>) for fans of Edith Wharton and <i>Downton Abbey</i>.</b><br /> It's 1910, and Catherine Ogden is aching to live a creative and meaningful life. That's not easy to do when her aunt and uncle—and all of New York society—consider a good marriage to be the pinnacle of feminine achievement. But when Catherine visits Oakview, the Northern California estate of handsome bachelor William Brandt, she thinks that it might be possible to satisfy her family's hopes as well as her own. In that beautiful place, she finds the promise of a new start and the opportunity to use her artistic gifts in designing the garden. But as Catherine is drawn into William's hidden life, as well as the secrets of his estate staff, she discovers that Oakview holds both more opportunity and more risk than she ever imagined. It will take all her courage—and the lessons of some shocking revelations from the past—to choose the path that leads to real freedom.<br /> Full of rich period detail and complex characters, and set against an unforgettable backdrop, <i>The Seeing Garden</i> explores what it takes for a woman to discern the path to her most authentic life.
