Novel Study: Seedfolks

We meet Wendell, a farmer turned janitor, who helps guilt-striken Ana bring Kim's lima beans back to life.  Wendell has lost both his wife and son.  We learn that he is a helpful, hopeful and positive person.  He chooses to focus on the good in his life instead of focusing on the negative (because of Kim's influence).

We meet Tio Juan through Gonzalo, a farmer from Guatemala.  The garden in the vacant lot gives Tio Juan a purpose, a reason for stepping out of this home, a connection to the community.  Instead of feeling isolated or confused from not knowing how to speak English, the garden reminds him of home and allows him to showcase his farming skills.  He becomes the resident expert and teacher.
