In ROSES FOR GITA, by Rachna Gilmore, Gita, who recently emigrated from India and is homesick, wants to plant a garden just like her grandmother’s back home. She finds an unexpected ally in her crotchety old neighbour next door, Mr. Flinch. As these two unlikely friends learn to share their love for gardening and music, Gita begins to see her lonely neighbor in a new light.
