The Secret of the Garden — Ronna Bacon

Faith Webster inherits her grandmother's worn-out house and moves to the country, much against her own wishes and plans, to refurbish it, with plans to sell it and move back to her beloved town. Attacked on her very first night in residence, she turns to Seth Logan, a nearby neighbour, for help and protection. She vaguely remembers a statue or fountain in the centre of her grandmother's garden, now missing, that holds the key to a secret found in the garden. Little does she realize the ends that certain men will go to in their search for that secret treasure. Sent on a scavenger hunt by her Grandmother, Faith and Seth come to depend on each other and on John 17, verses she has always loved, where Christ prays for those who would believe on him. Falling in love with Seth and he with her was not part of her plans, and leads her to make decisions she would not normally have made. She needs to decide where her treasure is and with who.
