A vacant lot, rat-infested and filled with garbage, looked like no place for a garden. Especially to a neighborhood of strangers where no one seems to care. Until one day, a young girl clears a small space and digs into the hard-packed soil to plant her precious bean seeds. Suddenly, the soil holds promise: To Curtis, who believes he can win back Lateesha's heart with a harvest of tomatoes; to Virgil's dad, who sees a fortune to be made from growing lettuce; and even to Maricela, sixteen and pregnant, wishing she were dead.
Thirteen very different voices -- old, young, Haitian, Hispanic, tough, haunted, and hopeful -- tell one amazing story about a garden that transforms a neighborhood.

生活中的平凡小事,大傢一起做,就會變成一件不平凡的事。故事雖然短小,但是其中投射以及蘊含的美國社區文化,挺深刻的。
評分很溫暖的小故事
評分明天就要考試瞭,MD
評分Chapter by chapter, each character describes the transformation of an empty lot into a vibrant community garden, and in doing so, they each experience their own transformations.
評分繁華都市深處的一隅荒地,演繹瞭美國醬缸文化的一個縮影;復雜而又迥異的人生際遇,在用心耕種與付齣中,收獲的不僅僅是果實,還有人生中簡單的快樂;當我們刨開堅硬的土地時,其實同時也打開瞭自己的內心,融化瞭種族、語言、甚至敵意與仇恨
