"A monarch butterfly landed on the towel, its orange wings awash in the afternoon light. A yellow-and-black tiger swallowtail perched atop her still-damp shoulders. One with blue wings hovered over Kaden."

-Liz Parker, In the Shadow Garden

"She kissed him like that until time fell away and it was only them and the stars and the warm Kentucky night. When she finally pulled away, she found the ground around their quilt covered in butterflies. A startled laugh escaped Kaden's lips. "It's called a kaleidoscope," Irene said, a little breathless. "The swarm."

-Liz Parker, In the Shadow Garden

"Stalks of basil to keep the evil eye at bay. A head of broccoli to heal the body. A bunch of cilantro to mend the soul. Three tomatoes for passion in the bedroom. A cucumber to keep that passion from burning a relationship to the ground. The finishing touch--- one piece of fruit from the shadow garden to amplify it all."

-Liz Parker, In the Shadow Garden

"While Addison might not have any misery to offer the plants in that moment, she could help them in other ways. She pulled on her gloves and started weeding the rows of fruits and vegetables and herbs, the summer sun warm against her back. She pulled a snail from a vine of ink-dark chocolate strawberries. She gently squeezed black raspberries that hid just a hint of mint. She watered deep purple tomatoes infused with basil, oregano, and thyme. When she'd finished her rounds, she wormed her hands beneath the dirt. Roots prodded at her fingertips. A blackberry vine started toward her. It spiraled up her arm, night-dark blossoms soft against her cheek, their touch feather light."

-Liz Parker, In the Shadow Garden
