A magical, realistic retelling of The Secret Garden. A Pakistani and Bangladeshi girl is sent from family member to family member after the death of her parents. Finally, she finds herself in the US with a family who knew them, yet there seems to be secrets and rules. I enjoyed the author's interpretation of the classic.
