Persephone's Garden Mimi Morton border crossingsPersephone's Garden is a deeply personal story and inventive study of girlhood, womanhood and motherhood, through memory, history and mythology. A children's song inspires a love of Greek mythology in a young girl. A young woman finds a career in archeology and illustration. A young mother sees her daughter become a woman, as her own mother's memories are lost.
