After Maya Angelou read Lynne Hinton's first book, Friendship Cake, she said I would welcome a friendship with Lynne Hinton. I would welcome an invitation to sit down at her table, but mostly I would welcome her next book. The long wait is over.In Garden of Faith, Hope Springs comes alive again, and the spirit, love, and strength of the women at its core are once again put to the test. The ladies have finished the cookbook that brought them together, but there's rocky terrain ahead. Through their tragedies and triumphs, the women come to realize that true friendships are like gardens -- we need to tend them so that they will bear abundant fruits.
