Evelina's Garden

One of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's most popular short stories, "Evelina's Garden" tells the tale of two cousins -- one an elderly recluse, and one a beautiful young woman -- who are drawn together by a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind garden. Young Evelina is prepared to devote her life to caring for the extraordinary oasis, but when romance intervenes, everything begins to fall apart.
