💛 Why I Wrote This

"I wrote The Sweet Garden after realizing that tending to others often left my own spirit parched. This book is a return to God, to rest, to myself. I believe we all carry seeds of resilience and beauty inside us, and when we water them, we can live fully rooted in love. This is my offering to you: a quiet garden where your soul can exhale and be restored."
— Maya S. Carter
