Daughter of famed businessman Lester Avnet, Carole Rocherolle writes a quirky, humorous, and inspiring story of her marriage, her search for a career, and ultimately the satisfaction of completing, after almost 20 years of dedication, along with her husband, the spectacular Steinhardt Gardens in Bedford, NY. The book is also an educated look at Japanese maple cultivars, and a guide on how to make and keep a successful garden, large or small.
