Neighbor’s Demands for Perfect Garden : A Single Mom’s Struggle

Imagine living in a peaceful country road with only a few neighbors. Then, one day, your neighbors decide to sell their house and suddenly ask you to maintain your garden to make their property more attractive to potential buyers. That’s the unexpected situation our single mom protagonist finds herself in. With four kids, a full-time student workload, and very little help or support, she’s already overwhelmed. Now, she’s questioning if she should continue to maintain her garden for her neighbors’ sake or just let it be.
