Overview

During a tropical storm. Following a hurricane. In the aftermath of chemotherapy. In the midst of marital discord. Facing a second cancer.

These are among the times author Charlene Costanzo found comfort, joy, hope, and healing on Sanibel Island, Florida. Since her first visit to the shell-famous island in 1980, the author returned many times, amassing a collection, not of prized shells from the beach, but of guiding life lessons and insights from a magical garden.

In The Twelve Gifts from the Garden, the author shares what she experienced and learned. Readers are asked to imagine walking in the author's sandals and perceiving the world as she did. Dappled light. Salty breezes. Bitter herbs. Glowing leaves. Rustling fronds. Floral scents. Cooing doves. Thoughts arise: whimsical, melancholy, idealistic, wistful, speculative, cloudy, clear, promising.... Line illustrations evoke visions and help readers feel present.

Charlene hopes that The Twelve Gifts from the Garden will enrich and empower readers as they journey through life in their own shoes.
