Seedfolks Introduction by Josha

 
Set in Cleveland in a multi-ethnic neighborhood, Seedfolks is a story that transforms the individual lives of thirteen very different people.
 
It begins with one Vietnamese girl who is mourning for her dead father. She is the first to dig into that rat-infested lot- with the wild hope that the seeds she plants may attract her father’s spirit. Many are to follow. But how are they all connected you ask? Through the belief- each in their own way – that tending the garden could be the answer to the central struggles of their lives.
 
Piece by piece, story by story, the garden begins to come alive. The once vacant lot- like the once lifeless neighborhood and it’s seedfolks- becomes vibrant, colourful and full of meaning.
 
For any reader, Seedfolks is a journey that cannot be missed!
