All the relationships were so interesting. I thought it very significant when 'assisted dying' was intruduced but without patients consent and at the wrong time on her life Very well written and thought provoking.

The first book I read by Francine Rivers was her fictionalisation of Hosea, which I got from the library years ago and have since been unable to find more of her books. I really enjoy Leota’s Garden, all the common problems that were dealt with. I look forward to reading more of her books. People I passed this book on to have asked if I have any more by her, so will have to make sure I find some more.

I bought this as a gift for someone who read it so quickly (within 2 weeks). She lent it back to me. I couldn't put it down and loved every second of reading it. I just had to buy one for myself and another for my mum. She can't put it down either. Recommend it wholeheartedly and may it bless others as it has blessed me.

I read Leota's Garden last year, after book was given to me by a friend from church after we had a discussion about need for forgiveness. I started reading and couldn't avoid reading from its pages every time I had an opportunity. The Bible truths are so well expressed in depth yet at times with such a sense of humour, that it left me at times laughing, and other times crying for what the old lady had to go through. Loved the young girl's character. I was so blessed, and learnt the truths of how forgiveness helps heal families with deep rooted issues and bitterness. Now I am buying this book for a good friend, hoping she enjoys it as much as I did.
