Description

A year has passed since Amira first discovered the Garden of Lost Things.

Her parents are officially divorced. Her father has begun building a life in his apartment across town. Her mother is learning how to laugh again. Grandma’s garden is blooming, and the sharpest edges of grief have finally begun to soften.

Amira thought healing would mean everything stopped changing.

She was wrong.

When a kind man named Mateo becomes part of her mother’s life, Amira is forced to face a fear she cannot easily name: What happens when the people we love begin walking toward futures that no longer look like the past?

At the same time, a thoughtful boy named Leo enters her world—someone who notices the quiet things, talks to tomatoes, and sees a light in Amira that she has never learned to recognize in herself.

Then a golden flower appears where nothing was planted.

A trail of glowing petals leads Amira back to the mysterious Garden, where the Gardener reveals a place unlike anything she has seen before: a garden of branching paths, shining lanterns, hidden roots, and possibilities waiting to grow.

But this Garden will not tell Amira which road to choose.

It will only ask whether she is brave enough to take the next step.

The Garden of New Paths is Book Two in the Garden series—a moving, magical story about family after divorce, first friendship, new beginnings, and the quiet courage it takes to welcome joy without forgetting what came before.

Because sometimes the hardest part is not letting go.

It is believing that something beautiful can still grow next.
