Ask the Eatonton Gardenerd

News Staff
Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Mrs. Eatonton, Gardenerd loves a good novel. Something with a historical storyline, clever twists and turns, cliffhanger chapters that don’t resolve until many pages later, always finely crafted by the author. Ms. Georgia is an excellent finder of good reads.
