"I learned so much about myself from this story--that fear doesn't have to hold me back, but rather, it can move me forward."
- Diane Chamberlain, bestselling author of The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes

"The Unfinished Garden is a mesmerizing tale of fear, loss, and love. Tilly and James are richly drawn and wonderfully flawed characters who embody the contradictions and imperfections that exist in all of us. Barbara Claypole White has created a novel as beautiful and complex, dark and light, sweet and sensuous as Tilly’s beloved garden."  
- Joanne Rendell, author of The Professors' Wives' Club 

"The Unfinished Garden is a tender novel about embracing imperfections, facing fears, and coming to terms with the past."
- Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira Leahy

"The Unfinished Garden is a beautifully written debut about healing the past and finding the future."
- Laura Spinella, author of Beautiful Disaster

"A complex and beautifully crafted tale of lives interwining through extraordinary people coming to terms with the choices they have made (and some that have been made for them)."
- Traci Foust, author of Nowhere Near Normal, A Memoir of OCD
