What People Are Saying

“Like a warm hug from an old friend.”

The Garden That You’re Growing is like a warm hug from an old friend. It is filled with sweet reflections on friendship, alongside poems on the difficulties that accompany loss and changing seasons—all which poked at the different spots in my heart. Most of all, it’s a collection of thoughts and stories I know that’ll be hard to forget.

“Easy to read then re-read.”

Rachel’s words give you the unexpected feeling of familiarity, as if coming home. This book is one that my husband and I both love—I’ve enjoyed reading her poems on my own as well as reading them out to him when a particular one strikes a deeper chord. What I love most about her writings is that it’s simple to grasp yet carries depth in wisdom and insight.
