4.0 out of 5 stars A great writer, August 13, 2000
By Reader "angie42" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
Lee May is an excellent southern author. This is the story of reuniting with his estranged father and their mutual interest in gardening, but also is an account of the social changes during one man's life.

3.0 out of 5 stars A well told story about reconnecting with the past, December 2, 2007
By J.B. (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I puchased a 1890's victorian that the author and his wife restored in Atlanta. I purchased the book to see if the author talked about my home - he did and also included some photos of his award winning garden. In addition, I truly enjoyed the book and consider it an autobiography combined with a memoir about the author reconnecting with his father. The author is an excellent storyteller and the book is an interesting read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, December 29, 2005
By A Southern Reader (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
The author certainy had a good idea for the book, ie reconnecting with his estranged father through their common love of gardening, but his execution of the idea really missed the point. He instead chose to mostly write an autobiography in which he made that fatal error common to many autobiographists in assumming that his life minutiae was of the same interest to to others that it was to him. The result is a suprisingly bad book. Given the author's carreer as a journalist, it is really surprising that his book is so unfocused and of such little interest.
