Review & Description
Hidden behind a giant magnolia, just off a busy six-lane road, lies the farm of Billy Albertson, one of the last remaining working farms in Atlanta.
Traveling past this property daily, Renea Winchester, like many others, failed to notice anything of value until...
Renea's daughter notices a primitive sign on the side of the road with the words "Baby Goats 4 Sale," written on the back of a paper plate.Even though Renea has no interest in smelling goats, she pulls into the drive one sweltering Atlanta day and meets a man who would change her life. Wearing faded cotton overalls and walking with a slight stoop, seventy-seven year old Billy Albertson extends his hand and magically fills a need Renea didn't know she had.
Join these unusual friends in the garden as they lean on each other, push through obstacles, and face life's unexpected challenges with integrity and hope.
Best-selling Authors, Patti Callahan Henry and Terry Kay have this to say about In The Garden With Billy: Lessons About Life, Love & Tomatoes.
" Renea Winchester knows the compassionate pathway into a story. She reaches into human relationships and shares the deep knowledge she finds inside the heart."
Patti Callahan Henry, NYT Bestselling Author
"a warm, delightful and thoughtful story chronicling her friendship with the extraordinary Billy Albertson—the kind of friendship celebrating the best that life, in all its trickery, can offer. Simply put, it is a book of gladness in a world of fret, a writer's gift to people who need the tenderness."
