Description
A lyrical journey through memory, faith, and the tender spaces between generations.
In a home where ivy climbed the walls and lemons ripened year after year, one family’s quiet devotion to planting, nurturing, and loving takes centre stage. From a father named Mohamed, to a grandfather with a green thumb and wise words, and a mother who teaches through doing – love is passed down like seeds, each one carrying something sacred.
Told through a poetic lens, this reflective short story explores the beauty of sacrifice, the strength of women, and the legacy we carry through our hands, our hearts, and the gardens we tend.
A soul-stirring read for those who believe that even the smallest acts can echo across generations.

This was a quick but powerful read—short in length, yet filled with insights, inspiration, and love. A beautiful mash-up of poetry and family. I’m not usually one for poetry, but I really appreciated how accessible and easy to understand this was. Excited to see where this author takes us next!
