Praise for Tending Roses“Richly emotional and spiritual, Tending Roses affected me from the first page.

You’re going to need them when you read Lisa Wingate’s book, Tending Roses. Your emotions will run the gamut from laughing loudly to shedding tears as you read the story.”—McAlester News-Capital & Democrat
