Some things lost in the giving can still be found again. Miriam Alderton has spent thirty-one years doing everything right-raising children, loving a husband, and tending a garden that is the finest in the county. Now, at fifty-eight, with the house quiet and her children grown and gone, she stands in her lavender field and asks herself a question she doesn't quite know how to answer: Who am I, outside of everything I have done and everyone I have loved? Saoirse is a single mother, a translator, and a woman who has traveled a long way to find somewhere slower. She arrives in the little village of Hathwell with her daughter Nell, too many books, and the quiet exhaustion of someone who has poured everything she has into one beloved person-and is only now realizing she has lost the thread of herself somewhere along the way. Together, amidst shared mornings, garden rows, and cups of tea gone slightly cold, two women who have both been quietly lost begin, at last, to find their way back. The Lavender Between Us is a gentle, luminous story about motherhood, friendship, healing, and the beautiful truth that it is never too late to remember who you are-and who you are still becoming.
