Could Nicola really haunt her from beyond-or is Corinne just losing it? Enter Sammy: the once-awkward paperboy turned unexpectedly handsome pie-bearing neighbor, who might just have what it takes to melt Corinne's cynical heart (and help her stake a tomato or two).Equal parts funny, heartfelt, and a little bit ghostly. In the Vegetable Garden, is a story of love, loss, lasagna, and Jell-O.A novella filled with romance, romantic comedy, friendship, and magical realism.
