Publisher's summary

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night...

Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery.

What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she's ever had - including Roz's son Harper. To Hayley's delight, her new daughter Lily has really taken to him. But to Hayley's chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper - as much more than a friend.

If Hayley gives in to her desire, she's afraid the foundation she's built with Harper will come tumbling down. Especially since she's begun to suspect that her feelings are no longer completely her own.

Flashes of the past and erratic behavior make Hayley believe that the Harper Bride has found a way inside of her mind and body. It's time to put the Bride to rest once and for all, so Hayley can know her own heart again - and whether she's willing to risk it...

Loved this Trilogy!

I loved the way the author kept all the characters present in each book.

Never disappointed

I am never disappointed with the stories written by. Nora Roberts. Her gift to draw you in and make you part of the story is wonderful.

Haley isn't a whiner

I read the book several times. this time I listen to it. I did not like the commentator and how she used her voice. she made Haley sound like a 16-year-old whiny kid. instead of a 24-year-old woman.

One of Nora Roberts’s best

Great ending to a trilogy. Raise your glass to Southern women. Love the strength and kindness of the three women. Hard to remember it’s a novel.

Great Trilogy

So awesome. Nora does a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life and having such strong relationships. Love her stories

So Sad this is the LAST book - I love it!

There is nothing better than a story you don't want to put down. This Garden Series in my opinion is the best of the Nora Roberts' series I've listen to thus far.

She perfectly mixes the characters in like the best mix of salt and pepper on creamed corn. You learn about each character and listen to each of their lives develop before you, watch relationships grow - all while being addicted to learning, like the character do, more about this "family ghost."

I was absolutely sad to be at the end of the series and honestly felt a pain in my heart.

All characters come full circle and the story is completely unveiled and you learn more by hearing the characters visit neighbors who had stories from their own ancestors passed down.

It's just perfect...absolutely perfect and the voice over artist speaks in different tons and conversational and not slow - she speaks at a faster pace and I loved it.

Profound exploration of woman character

The way characters are pictured is a sign of deep penetrating into the human nature. Besides, the narrator is a real enjoyment!
