The Someday Garden: A Novel

Extended Synopsis

In the enchanting and magical novel The Someday Garden, New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston delivers a captivating tale of romance, mystery, and moss-covered magic. When Sophie Drear escapes to coastal Maine for the summer to take on a temporary job revitalizing the storied grounds at Lilymoor House, she expects a quiet retreat. Instead, she falls deeply in love with the beguiling land, the fragrant flowers, and the towering hedge maze.

Then, a mysterious door appears—never in the same place twice—leading her to an unfinished secret garden with a frustrated, thundercloud of a man trapped inside. As the estate's foliage resists her nurturing, vines threaten to strangle the hedges, and the owner’s inconveniently attractive nephew arrives for the summer, Sophie must navigate the complex history of Lilymoor and unlock the secrets of the garden to help the estate bloom once more.
