Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, Laurie Lisle bought an old New England clapboard house with an awkwardly shaped backyard. As she worked to transform it into a graceful garden, she also found herself digging into her feelings about love and loss, work and play, roots and rootlessness, solitude and sociability. Now, in these intimate essays, Lisle explores the fascinating connections among one's interior landscape, village life, and the natural world.
